  - m_cat in slirp/mbuf.c in Qemu has a heap-based buffer     overflow via incoming fragmented     datagrams.(CVE-2018-11806)

  - In Qemu 3.0.0, lsi_do_msgin in hw/scsi/lsi53c895a.c     allows out-of-bounds access by triggering an invalid     msg_len value.(CVE-2018-18849)

  - hw/9pfs/cofile.c and hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU can modify an     fid path while it is being accessed by a second thread,     leading to (for example) a use-after-free     outcome.(CVE-2018-19364)

  - v9fs_wstat in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU allows guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (crash) because of a     race condition during file renaming.(CVE-2018-19489)

  - QEMU, through version 2.10 and through version 3.1.0,     is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read of up to 128     bytes in the hw/i2c/i2c-ddc.c:i2c_ddc() function. A     local attacker with permission to execute i2c commands     could exploit this to read stack memory of the qemu     process on the host.(CVE-2019-3812)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU's Media Transfer Protocol     (MTP). The code opening files in usb_mtp_get_object and     usb_mtp_get_partial_object and directories in     usb_mtp_object_readdir doesn't consider that the     underlying filesystem may have changed since the time     lstat(2) was called in usb_mtp_object_alloc, a     classical TOCTTOU problem. An attacker with write     access to the host filesystem, shared with a guest, can     use this property to navigate the host filesystem in     the context of the QEMU process and read any file the     QEMU process has access to. Access to the filesystem     may be local or via a network share protocol such as     CIFS.(CVE-2018-16872)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in ide_dma_cb()     in hw/ide/core.c in QEMU 2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest     system can crash the QEMU process in the host system     via a special SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an     assertion that implies that the size of successful DMA     transfers there must be a multiple of 512 (the size of     a sector). NOTE: a member of the QEMU security team     disputes the significance of this issue because a     'privileged guest user has many ways to cause similar     DoS effect, without triggering this     assert.'(CVE-2019-20175)

  - Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device     (NBD) Server support was vulnerable to a null-pointer     dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing     a client that was not initialized due to failed     negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit     this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server (denial of     service).(CVE-2017-9524)

  - Qemu has integer overflows because IOReadHandler and     its associated functions use a signed integer data type     for a size value.(CVE-2018-18438)

  - The Bluetooth subsystem in QEMU mishandles negative     values for length variables, leading to memory     corruption.(CVE-2018-19665)

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)
