Multiple security issues were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor emulator :

  - CVE-2020-12829     An integer overflow in the sm501 display device may     result in denial of service.

  - CVE-2020-14364     An out-of-bounds write in the USB emulation code may     result in guest-to-host code execution.

  - CVE-2020-15863     A buffer overflow in the XGMAC network device may result     in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2020-16092     A triggerable assert in the e1000e and vmxnet3 devices     may result in denial of service.

The following security issues have been found in qemu, which could potentially result in DoS and execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2020-1711

An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsi_co_block_status() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

CVE-2020-13253

An out-of-bounds read access issue was found in the SD Memory Card emulator of the QEMU. It occurs while performing block write commands via sdhci_write(), if a guest user has sent 'address' which is OOB of 's->wp_groups'. A guest user/process may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS.

CVE-2020-14364

An out-of-bounds read/write access issue was found in the USB emulator of the QEMU. It occurs while processing USB packets from a guest, when 'USBDevice->setup_len' exceeds the USBDevice->data_buf[4096], in do_token_{in,out} routines.

CVE-2020-16092

An assertion failure can occur in the network packet processing. This issue affects the e1000e and vmxnet3 network devices. A malicious guest user/process could use this flaw to abort the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

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

  - In QEMU through 5.0.0, an integer overflow was found in     the SM501 display driver implementation. This flaw     occurs in the COPY_AREA macro while handling MMIO write     operations through the sm501_2d_engine_write()     callback. A local attacker could abuse this flaw to     crash the QEMU process in sm501_2d_operation() in     hw/display/sm501.c on the host, resulting in a denial     of service.(CVE-2020-12829)

  - slirp.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer     over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of     header data even if that exceeds the total packet     length.(CVE-2020-29130)

  - ncsi.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read     because it tries to read a certain amount of header     data even if that exceeds the total packet     length.(CVE-2020-29129)

  - hw/net/e1000e_core.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has an infinite loop     via an RX descriptor with a NULL buffer     address.(CVE-2020-28916)

  - ati_2d_blt in hw/display/ati_2d.c in QEMU 4.2.1 can     encounter an outside-limits situation in a calculation.
    A guest can crash the QEMU process.(CVE-2020-27616)

  - eth_get_gso_type in net/eth.c in QEMU 4.2.1 allows     guest OS users to trigger an assertion failure. A guest     can crash the QEMU process via packet data that lacks a     valid Layer 3 protocol.(CVE-2020-27617)

  - 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)

  - hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has a stack-based     buffer over-read via values obtained from the host     controller driver.(CVE-2020-25624)

  - hw/usb/hcd-ohci.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has an infinite loop     when a TD list has a loop.(CVE-2020-25625)

  - In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c     misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer     overflow in later code.(CVE-2020-8608)

  - tcp_emu in tcp_subr.c in libslirp 4.1.0, as used in     QEMU 4.2.0, mismanages memory, as demonstrated by IRC     DCC commands in EMU_IRC. This can cause a heap-based     buffer overflow or other out-of-bounds access which can     lead to a DoS or potential execute arbitrary     code.(CVE-2020-7039)

  - ip_reass in ip_input.c in libslirp 4.0.0 has a     heap-based buffer overflow via a large packet because     it mishandles a case involving the first     fragment.(CVE-2019-14378)

  - A flaw was found in the memory management API of QEMU     during the initialization of a memory region cache.
    This issue could lead to an out-of-bounds write access     to the MSI-X table while performing MMIO operations. A     guest user may abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU     process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.
    This flaw affects QEMU versions prior to     5.2.0.(CVE-2020-27821)

  - QEMU: reachable assertion failure in     net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c     (CVE-2020-16092)

  - hw/pci/pci.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to     trigger an out-of-bounds access by providing an address     near the end of the PCI configuration     space(CVE-2020-13791)

  - qmp_guest_file_read in qga/commands-posix.c and     qga/commands-win32.c in qemu-ga (aka QEMU Guest Agent)     in QEMU 2.12.50 has an integer overflow causing a     g_malloc0() call to trigger a segmentation fault when     trying to allocate a large memory chunk. The     vulnerability can be exploited by sending a crafted QMP     command (including guest-file-read with a large count     value) to the agent via the listening     socket.(CVE-2018-12617)

  - sd_wp_addr in hw/sd/sd.c in QEMU 4.2.0 uses an     unvalidated address, which leads to an out-of-bounds     read during sdhci_write() operations. A guest OS user     can crash the QEMU process.(CVE-2020-13253)

  - QEMU 4.1.0 has a memory leak in zrle_compress_data in     ui/vnc-enc-zrle.c during a VNC disconnect operation     because libz is misused, resulting in a situation where     memory allocated in deflateInit2 is not freed in     deflateEnd.(CVE-2019-20382)

  - An integer overflow was found in QEMU 4.0.1 through     4.2.0 in the way it implemented ATI VGA emulation. This     flaw occurs in the ati_2d_blt() routine in     hw/display/ati-2d.c while handling MMIO write     operations through the ati_mm_write() callback. A     malicious guest could abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU     process, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-11869)

  - This vulnerability has been modified since it was last     analyzed by the NVD. It is awaiting reanalysis which     may result in further changes to the information     provided.(CVE-2020-13659)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU in the implementation of the     Pointer Authentication (PAuth) support for ARM     introduced in version 4.0 and fixed in version 5.0.0. A     general failure of the signature generation process     caused every PAuth-enforced pointer to be signed with     the same signature. A local attacker could obtain the     signature of a protected pointer and abuse this flaw to     bypass PAuth protection for all programs running on     QEMU.(CVE-2020-10702)

  - hw/net/xgmac.c in the XGMAC Ethernet controller in QEMU     before 07-20-2020 has a buffer overflow. This occurs     during packet transmission and affects the highbank and     midway emulated machines. A guest user or process could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service or potential     privileged code execution. This was fixed in commit     5519724a13664b43e225ca05351c60b4468e4555.(CVE-2020-1586     3)

  - In QEMU 5.0.0 and earlier, megasas_lookup_frame in     hw/scsi/megasas.c has an out-of-bounds read via a     crafted reply_queue_head field from a guest OS     user.(CVE-2020-13362)

  - ** 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)

  - In QEMU 5.0.0 and earlier, es1370_transfer_audio in     hw/audio/es1370.c does not properly validate the frame     count, which allows guest OS users to trigger an     out-of-bounds access during an es1370_write()     operation.(CVE-2020-13361)

  - rom_copy() in hw/core/loader.c in QEMU 4.1.0 does not     validate the relationship between two addresses, which     allows attackers to trigger an invalid memory copy     operation.(CVE-2020-13765)

  - libslirp 4.0.0, as used in QEMU 4.1.0, has a     use-after-free in ip_reass in     ip_input.c.(CVE-2019-15890)

  - A use after free vulnerability in ip_reass() in     ip_input.c of libslirp 4.2.0 and prior releases allows     crafted packets to cause a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-1983)

  - ati-vga in hw/display/ati.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest     OS users to trigger infinite recursion via a crafted     mm_index value during an ati_mm_read or ati_mm_write     call.(CVE-2020-13800)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in     the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU versions 2.12.0     before 4.2.1 handled a response coming from an iSCSI     server while checking the status of a Logical Address     Block (LBA) in an iscsi_co_block_status() routine. A     remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU     process, resulting in a denial of service or potential     execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU     process on the host.(CVE-2020-1711)

  - tftp.c in libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, does     not prevent ..\ directory traversal on     Windows.(CVE-2020-7211)

  - 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. This flaw affects versions of     libslirp before 4.3.1.(CVE-2020-10756)
