The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In QEMU 3.0.0, tcp_emu in slirp/tcp_subr.c has a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-6778)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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

  - In QEMU 3.0.0, tcp_emu in slirp/tcp_subr.c has a     heap-based buffer overflow.(CVE-2019-6778)

  - The MSI-X MMIO support in hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU (aka     Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users     to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and QEMU process crash) by leveraging failure to define     the .write method.(CVE-2015-7549)

  - The ne2000_receive function in the NE2000 NIC emulation     support (hw/net/ne2000.c) in QEMU before 2.5.1 allows     local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) via     crafted values for the PSTART and PSTOP registers,     involving ring buffer control.(CVE-2016-2841)

  - Memory leak in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built     with USB EHCI Emulation support, allows local guest OS     privileged users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by repeatedly hot-unplugging the     device.(CVE-2017-9374)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in the tsc210x_load function     in hw/input/tsc210x.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a     crafted (1) precision, (2) nextprecision, (3) function,     or (4) nextfunction value in a savevm     image.(CVE-2013-4539)

  - Buffer overflow in scoop_gpio_handler_update in QEMU     before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a large (1) prev_level, (2)     gpio_level, or (3) gpio_dir value in a savevm     image.(CVE-2013-4540)
