EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : qemu-kvm (EulerOS-SA-2021-2166)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 151383

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The imx_fec_do_tx function in hw/net/imx_fec.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) does not properly limit the buffer descriptor count when transmitting packets, which allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving a buffer descriptor with a length of 0 and crafted values in bd.flags.(CVE-2016-7907)

 - Stack-based buffer overflow in hw/usb/redirect.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) via vectors related to logging debug messages.(CVE-2017-10806)

 - The dhcp_decode function in slirp/bootp.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) via a crafted DHCP options string.(CVE-2017-11434)

 - A use-after-free issue was found in the Slirp networking implementation of the Quick emulator (QEMU).
 It occurs when a Socket referenced from multiple packets is freed while responding to a message. A user/process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in denial of service.(CVE-2017-13711)

 - Buffer overflow in the 'megasas_mmio_write' function in Qemu 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.(CVE-2017-8380)

 - A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the way SLiRP networking back-end in QEMU processes fragmented packets. It could occur while reassembling the fragmented datagrams of an incoming packet. A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS or potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2018-11806)

 - qemu-seccomp.c in QEMU might allow local OS guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) by leveraging mishandling of the seccomp policy for threads other than the main thread.(CVE-2018-15746)

 - An integer overflow issue was found in the RTL8139 NIC emulation in QEMU. It could occur while receiving packets over the network if the size value is greater than INT_MAX. Such overflow would lead to stack buffer overflow issue. A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in DoS scenario.(CVE-2018-17958)

 - An integer overflow issue was found in the AMD PC-Net II NIC emulation in QEMU. It could occur while receiving packets, if the size value was greater than INT_MAX. Such overflow would lead to stack buffer overflow issue. A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS.(CVE-2018-17962)

 - A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the load_device_tree() function of QEMU, which is invoked to load a device tree blob at boot time. It occurs due to device tree size manipulation before buffer allocation, which could overflow a signed int type. A user/process could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code on a host system with privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2018-20815)

 - interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU 3.1.x through 4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-12155)

 - qemu-bridge-helper.c in QEMU 3.1 and 4.0.0 does not ensure that a network interface name (obtained from bridge.conf or a --br=bridge option) is limited to the IFNAMSIZ size, which can lead to an ACL bypass.(CVE-2019-13164)

 - A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator. This flaw occurs in the ip_reass() routine while reassembling incoming packets if the first fragment is bigger than the m->m_dat[] buffer. An attacker could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a Denial of Service or potentially executing arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2019-14378)

 - tcp_emu in slirp/tcp_subr.c (aka slirp/src/tcp_subr.c) in QEMU 3.0.0 uses uninitialized data in an snprintf call, leading to Information disclosure.(CVE-2019-9824)

 - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator.
 This flaw occurs in the icmp6_send_echoreply() routine while replying to an ICMP echo request, also known as ping. This flaw allows a malicious guest to leak the contents of the host memory, resulting in possible information disclosure.(CVE-2020-10756)

 - A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator. This flaw occurs in the tcp_emu() routine while emulating IRC and other protocols. An attacker could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2020-7039)

 - An out-of-bound write access flaw was found in the way QEMU loads ROM contents at boot time. This flaw occurs in the rom_copy() routine while loading the contents of a 32-bit -kernel image into memory. Running an untrusted -kernel image may load contents at arbitrary memory locations, potentially leading to code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2020-13765)

 - A use-after-free flaw was found in the USB(xHCI/eHCI) controller emulators of QEMU. This flaw occurs while setting up the USB packet as a usb_packet_map() routine and returns an error that was not checked. This flaw allows a guest user or process to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-25084)

 - An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB OHCI controller emulator of QEMU. This flaw occurs while servicing OHCI isochronous transfer descriptors (TD) in the ohci_service_iso_td routine, as it retires a TD if it has passed its time frame. It does not check if the TD was already processed and holds an error code in TD_CC. This issue may happen if the TD list has a loop.
 This flaw allows a guest user or process to consume CPU cycles on the host, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-25625)

 - A reachable assertion issue was found in the USB EHCI emulation code of QEMU. It could occur while processing USB requests due to missing handling of DMA memory map failure. A malicious privileged user within the guest may abuse this flaw to send bogus USB requests and crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-25723)

 - A potential directory traversal issue was found in the tftp server of the SLiRP user-mode networking implementation used by QEMU. It could occur on a Windows host, as it allows the use of both forward ('/') and backward slash('\') tokens as separators in a file path. A user able to access the tftp server could use this flaw to access undue files by using relative paths.(CVE-2020-7211)

 - An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the USB emulator of the QEMU in versions before 5.2.0.
 This issue occurs while processing USB packets from a guest when USBDevice 'setup_len' exceeds its 'data_buf[4096]' in the do_token_in, do_token_out routines. This flaw allows a guest user to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service, or the potential execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.(CVE-2020-14364)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution
