Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: qemu (CVE-2024-26328)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 295929

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of qemu installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-26328 advisory.

 - An issue was discovered in QEMU 7.1.0 through 8.2.1. register_vfs in hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c does not set NumVFs to PCI_SRIOV_TOTAL_VF, and thus interaction with hw/nvme/ctrl.c is mishandled. (CVE-2024-26328)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
