The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0222 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2020-14301:
    An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt in versions before 6.3.0. HTTP cookies used     to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain. This flaw allows an attacker     to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.

    CVE-2024-3446:
    A double free vulnerability was found in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-     crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. This     issue could allow a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service or allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the QEMU process on the host.

    CVE-2024-4418:
    A race condition leading to a stack use-after-free flaw was found in libvirt. Due to a bad assumption in     the virNetClientIOEventLoop() method, the `data` pointer to a stack-allocated virNetClientIOEventData     structure ended up being used in the virNetClientIOEventFD callback while the data pointer's stack frame     was concurrently being freed when returning from virNetClientIOEventLoop(). The 'virtproxyd' daemon can     be used to trigger requests. If libvirt is configured with fine-grained access control, this issue, in     theory, allows a user to escape their otherwise limited access. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged     user to access virtproxyd without authenticating. Remote users would need to authenticate before they     could access it.

    CVE-2024-4467:
    A flaw was found in the QEMU disk image utility (qemu-img) 'info' command. A specially crafted image file     containing a `json:{}` value describing block devices in QMP could cause the qemu-img process on the host     to consume large amounts of memory or CPU time, leading to denial of service or read/write to an existing     external file.

    CVE-2024-7383:
    A flaw was found in libnbd. The client did not always correctly verify the NBD server's certificate when     using TLS to connect to an NBD server. This issue allows a man-in-the-middle attack on NBD traffic.

    CVE-2024-7409:
    A flaw was found in the QEMU NBD Server. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) attack via     improper synchronization during socket closure when a client keeps a socket open as the server is taken     offline.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0119 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2018-12130:
    Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS): Fill buffers on some microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a     side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here:
    https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-     update-guidance_05132019.pdf

    CVE-2018-13405:
    The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.

    CVE-2019-10132:
    A vulnerability was found in libvirt >= 4.1.0 in the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket     systemd units. A missing SocketMode configuration parameter allows any user on the host to connect using     virtlockd-admin-sock or virtlogd-admin-sock and perform administrative tasks against the virtlockd and     virtlogd daemons.

    CVE-2019-10161:
    It was discovered that libvirtd before versions 4.10.1 and 5.4.1 would permit read-only clients to use the     virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() API, specifying an arbitrary path which would be accessed with the     permissions of the libvirtd process. An attacker with access to the libvirtd socket could use this to     probe the existence of arbitrary files, cause denial of service or cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary     programs.

    CVE-2019-10166:
    It was discovered that libvirtd, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, would permit     readonly clients to use the virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML() API, which would permit them to modify managed     save state files. If a managed save had already been created by a privileged user, a local attacker could     modify this file such that libvirtd would execute an arbitrary program when the domain was resumed.

    CVE-2019-10167:
    The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() libvirt API, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1,     accepts an emulatorbin argument to specify the program providing emulation for a domain. Since v1.2.19,     libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-only clients could specify an     arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted executable with its own     privileges.

    CVE-2019-10168:
    The virConnectBaselineHypervisorCPU() and virConnectCompareHypervisorCPU() libvirt APIs, 4.x.x before     4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, accept an emulator argument to specify the program providing emulation     for a domain. Since v1.2.19, libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-     only clients could specify an arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted     executable with its own privileges.

    CVE-2019-11135:
    TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

    CVE-2019-12155:
    interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU 3.1.x through 4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.

    CVE-2019-14378:
    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-2019-14842:
    Structured reply is a feature of the newstyle NBD protocol allowing the server to send a reply in chunks.
    A bounds check which was supposed to test for chunk offsets smaller than the beginning of the request did     not work because of signed/unsigned confusion. If one of these chunks contains a negative offset then data     under control of the server is written to memory before the read buffer supplied by the client. If the     read buffer is located on the stack then this allows the stack return address from nbd_pread() to be     trivially modified, allowing arbitrary code execution under the control of the server. If the buffer is     located on the heap then other memory objects before the buffer can be overwritten, which again would     usually lead to arbitrary code execution.

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

    CVE-2019-20485:

    CVE-2019-6501:
    In QEMU 3.1, scsi_handle_inquiry_reply in hw/scsi/scsi-generic.c allows out-of-bounds write and read     operations.

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

    CVE-2020-10703:
    A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service.

    CVE-2020-10756:
    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-2020-11947:
    iscsi_aio_ioctl_cb in block/iscsi.c in QEMU 4.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read that may disclose     unrelated information from process memory to an attacker.

    CVE-2020-14301:
    An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt in versions before 6.3.0. HTTP cookies used     to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain. This flaw allows an attacker     to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.

    CVE-2020-14339:
    A flaw was found in libvirt, where it leaked a file descriptor for `/dev/mapper/control` into the QEMU     process. This file descriptor allows for privileged operations to happen against the device-mapper on the     host. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to perform operations outside of their standard     permissions, potentially causing serious damage to the host operating system. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14364:
    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-2020-15859:
    QEMU 4.2.0 has a use-after-free in hw/net/e1000e_core.c because a guest OS user can trigger an e1000e     packet with the data's address set to the e1000e's MMIO address.

    CVE-2020-16092:
    In QEMU through 5.0.0, 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.

    CVE-2020-1711:
    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-2020-1983:
    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-2020-25637:

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

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2022:0119 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2018-12130:
    Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS): Fill buffers on some microprocessors utilizing     speculative execution may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a     side channel with local access. A list of impacted products can be found here:
    https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/corporate-information/SA00233-microcode-     update-guidance_05132019.pdf

    CVE-2018-13405:
    The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.

    CVE-2019-10132:
    A vulnerability was found in libvirt >= 4.1.0 in the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket     systemd units. A missing SocketMode configuration parameter allows any user on the host to connect using     virtlockd-admin-sock or virtlogd-admin-sock and perform administrative tasks against the virtlockd and     virtlogd daemons.

    CVE-2019-10161:
    It was discovered that libvirtd before versions 4.10.1 and 5.4.1 would permit read-only clients to use the     virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc() API, specifying an arbitrary path which would be accessed with the     permissions of the libvirtd process. An attacker with access to the libvirtd socket could use this to     probe the existence of arbitrary files, cause denial of service or cause libvirtd to execute arbitrary     programs.

    CVE-2019-10166:
    It was discovered that libvirtd, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, would permit     readonly clients to use the virDomainManagedSaveDefineXML() API, which would permit them to modify managed     save state files. If a managed save had already been created by a privileged user, a local attacker could     modify this file such that libvirtd would execute an arbitrary program when the domain was resumed.

    CVE-2019-10167:
    The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() libvirt API, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1,     accepts an emulatorbin argument to specify the program providing emulation for a domain. Since v1.2.19,     libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-only clients could specify an     arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted executable with its own     privileges.

    CVE-2019-10168:
    The virConnectBaselineHypervisorCPU() and virConnectCompareHypervisorCPU() libvirt APIs, 4.x.x before     4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, accept an emulator argument to specify the program providing emulation     for a domain. Since v1.2.19, libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-     only clients could specify an arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted     executable with its own privileges.

    CVE-2019-11135:
    TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access.

    CVE-2019-12155:
    interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU 3.1.x through 4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.

    CVE-2019-14378:
    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-2019-14842:
    Structured reply is a feature of the newstyle NBD protocol allowing the server to send a reply in chunks.
    A bounds check which was supposed to test for chunk offsets smaller than the beginning of the request did     not work because of signed/unsigned confusion. If one of these chunks contains a negative offset then data     under control of the server is written to memory before the read buffer supplied by the client. If the     read buffer is located on the stack then this allows the stack return address from nbd_pread() to be     trivially modified, allowing arbitrary code execution under the control of the server. If the buffer is     located on the heap then other memory objects before the buffer can be overwritten, which again would     usually lead to arbitrary code execution.

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

    CVE-2019-20485:
    qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt before 6.0.0 mishandles the holding of a monitor job during a query to a     guest agent, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (API blockage).

    CVE-2019-6501:
    In QEMU 3.1, scsi_handle_inquiry_reply in hw/scsi/scsi-generic.c allows out-of-bounds write and read     operations.

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

    CVE-2020-10703:
    A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service.

    CVE-2020-10756:
    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-2020-11947:
    iscsi_aio_ioctl_cb in block/iscsi.c in QEMU 4.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read that may disclose     unrelated information from process memory to an attacker.

    CVE-2020-14301:
    An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt in versions before 6.3.0. HTTP cookies used     to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain. This flaw allows an attacker     to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.

    CVE-2020-14339:
    A flaw was found in libvirt, where it leaked a file descriptor for `/dev/mapper/control` into the QEMU     process. This file descriptor allows for privileged operations to happen against the device-mapper on the     host. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to perform operations outside of their standard     permissions, potentially causing serious damage to the host operating system. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-14364:
    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-2020-15859:
    QEMU 4.2.0 has a use-after-free in hw/net/e1000e_core.c because a guest OS user can trigger an e1000e     packet with the data's address set to the e1000e's MMIO address.

    CVE-2020-16092:
    In QEMU through 5.0.0, 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.

    CVE-2020-1711:
    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-2020-1983:
    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-2020-25637:
    A double free memory issue was found to occur in the libvirt API, in versions before 6.8.0, responsible     for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. This flaw affects the polkit     access control driver. Specifically, clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-25723:
    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-2020-27821:
    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-2020-28916:
    hw/net/e1000e_core.c in QEMU 5.0.0 has an infinite loop via an RX descriptor with a NULL buffer address.

    CVE-2020-29130:
    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-2020-29443:
    ide_atapi_cmd_reply_end in hw/ide/atapi.c in QEMU 5.1.0 allows out-of-bounds read access because a buffer     index is not validated.

    CVE-2020-7039:
    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-2021-20257:
    An infinite loop flaw was found in the e1000 NIC emulator of the QEMU. This issue occurs while processing     transmits (tx) descriptors in process_tx_desc if various descriptor fields are initialized with invalid     values.
