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

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the SCSI     emulation support of QEMU in versions before 6.0.0.
    This flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the     QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of     service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is     to system availability.(CVE-2020-35504)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in     the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller emulator of QEMU     up to and including qemu 4.2.0on aarch64 platform. The     issue occurs because while writing an interrupt ID to     the controller memory area, it is not masked to be 4     bits wide. It may lead to the said issue while updating     controller state fields and their subsequent     processing. A privileged guest user may use this flaw     to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS     scenario.(CVE-2021-20221)

  - A flaw was found in the USB redirector device     (usb-redir) of QEMU. Small USB packets are combined     into a single, large transfer request, to reduce the     overhead and improve performance. The combined size of     the bulk transfer is used to dynamically allocate a     variable length array (VLA) on the stack without proper     validation. Since the total size is not bounded, a     malicious guest could use this flaw to influence the     array length and cause the QEMU process to perform an     excessive allocation on the(CVE-2021-3527)

  - QEMU 5.0.0 has a use-after-free in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c     because the usb_packet_map return value is not     checked.(CVE-2020-25084)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the     am53c974 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU in     versions before 6.0.0. This issue occurs while handling     the 'Information Transfer' command. This flaw allows a     privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the     host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability.(CVE-2020-35505)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability was found in     the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of     QEMU in versions up to and including 6.0. The flaw     exists in virgl_cmd_get_capset_info() in     contrib/vhost-user-gpu/virgl.c and could occur due to     the read of uninitialized memory. A malicious guest     could exploit this issue to leak memory from the host.
    (CVE-2021-3545)

  - Several memory leaks were found in the virtio     vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of QEMU in     versions up to and including 6.0. They exist in     contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu.c and     contrib/vhost-user-gpu/virgl.c due to improper release     of memory (i.e., free) after effective     lifetime.(CVE-2021-3544)

  - A flaw was found in vhost-user-gpu of QEMU in versions     up to and including 6.0. An out-of-bounds write     vulnerability can allow a malicious guest to crash the     QEMU process on the host resulting in a denial of     service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the     host with the privileges of the QEMU process. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2021-3546)

  - A race condition flaw was found in the 9pfs server     implementation of QEMU up to and including 5.2.0. This     flaw allows a malicious 9p client to cause a     use-after-free error, potentially escalating their     privileges on the system. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity as well     as system availability.(CVE-2021-20181)

(CVE-2021-3527)

  - A flaw was found in the USB redirector device emulation of QEMU in versions prior to 6.1.0-rc2. It occurs     when dropping packets during a bulk transfer from a SPICE client due to the packet queue being full. A     malicious SPICE client could use this flaw to make QEMU call free() with faked heap chunk metadata,     resulting in a crash of QEMU or potential code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process on the     host. (CVE-2021-3682)

  - An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the UAS (USB Attached SCSI) device emulation of QEMU in versions     prior to 6.2.0-rc0. The device uses the guest supplied stream number unchecked, which can lead to out-of-     bounds access to the UASDevice->data3 and UASDevice->status3 fields. A malicious guest user could use this     flaw to crash QEMU or potentially achieve code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process on the     host. (CVE-2021-3713)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the     Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be     written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions (such as reset) while the device is     still transferring packets. This can ultimately lead to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host. This flaw affects     QEMU versions before 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3750)

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the qemu-kvm-6.1.0-3.el9 build changelog.

  - use-after-free during packet reassembly [rhel-av-8]) (CVE-2019-15890)

  - 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)

  - A potential DoS flaw was found in the virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation of     the QEMU version >= v5.0. Virtio-fs is meant to share a host file system directory with a guest via     virtio-fs device. If the guest opens the maximum number of file descriptors under the shared directory, a     denial of service may occur. This flaw allows a guest user/process to cause this denial of service on the     host. (CVE-2020-10717)

  - 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)

  - An assertion failure issue was found in the Network Block Device(NBD) Server in all QEMU versions before     QEMU 5.0.1. This flaw occurs when an nbd-client sends a spec-compliant request that is near the boundary     of maximum permitted request length. A remote nbd-client could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10761)

  - out-of-bounds r/w access issue while processing usb packets [rhel-av-8.3.0]) (CVE-2020-14364)

  - OOB heap access via an unexpected response of iSCSI Server [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-1711)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in qemu. A host privilege escalation issue was found in the virtio-fs shared file system     daemon where a privileged guest user is able to create a device special file in the shared directory and     use it to r/w access host devices. (CVE-2020-35517)

  - OOB buffer access while emulating tcp protocols in tcp_emu() [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-7039)

  - potential OOB access due to unsafe snprintf() usages [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-8608)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller emulator of     QEMU up to and including qemu 4.2.0on aarch64 platform. The issue occurs because while writing an     interrupt ID to the controller memory area, it is not masked to be 4 bits wide. It may lead to the said     issue while updating controller state fields and their subsequent processing. A privileged guest user may     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-20221)

  - A flaw was found in the virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) of QEMU. The new 'xattrmap' option     may cause the 'security.capability' xattr in the guest to not drop on file write, potentially leading to a     modified, privileged executable in the guest. In rare circumstances, this flaw could be used by a     malicious user to elevate their privileges within the guest. (CVE-2021-20263)
