According to the versions of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. A heap-based buffer overflow     vulnerability was found in the SDHCI device emulation     support allowing a guest user or process to crash the     QEMU process on the host resulting in a denial of     service condition, or potentially execute arbitrary     code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-17380)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. An out-of-bounds read/write     access issue was found in the SDHCI Controller emulator     of QEMU. It may occur while doing multi block SDMA, if     transfer block size exceeds the     's->fifo_buffer[s->buf_maxsz]' size which would leave     the current element pointer 's->data_count' pointing     out of bounds. This would lead the subsequent DMA r/w     operation to an OOB access issue where a guest     user/process may use this flaw to crash the QEMU     process resulting in DoS scenario. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and     integrity as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-25085)

  - The patch for CVE-2020-17380 and CVE-2020-25085, both     involving a heap buffer overflow in the SDHCI     controller emulation code of QEMU, was found to be     incomplete.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor     emulator, which could result in denial of service, information leak,     or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2020-14394

        An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller         emulation of QEMU while computing the length of the Transfer         Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user         to hang the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of         service.

    CVE-2020-17380/CVE-2021-3409

        A heap-based buffer overflow was found in QEMU in the SDHCI device         emulation support. It could occur while doing a multi block SDMA         transfer via the sdhci_sdma_transfer_multi_blocks() routine in         hw/sd/sdhci.c. A guest user or process could use this flaw to         crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of         service condition, or potentially execute arbitrary code with         privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

    CVE-2020-29130

        slirp.c 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-2021-3592

        An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP         networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw exists in the         bootp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp         packet that is smaller than the size of the 'bootp_t' structure. A         malicious guest could use this flaw to leak 10 bytes of         uninitialized heap memory from the host.

    CVE-2021-3593

        An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP         networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw exists in the         udp6_input() function and could occur while processing a udp         packet that is smaller than the size of the 'udphdr'         structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or         indirect host memory disclosure to the guest.

    CVE-2021-3594

        An invalid pointer initialization issue was found         in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw exists in         the udp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp         packet that is smaller than the size of the 'udphdr'         structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or         indirect host memory disclosure to the guest.

    CVE-2021-3595

        An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP         networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw exists in the         tftp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp         packet that is smaller than the size of the 'tftp_t'         structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or         indirect host memory disclosure to the guest.

    CVE-2022-0216

        A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the LSI53C895A SCSI         Host Bus Adapter emulation of QEMU. The flaw occurs while         processing repeated messages to cancel the current SCSI request         via the lsi_do_msgout function. This flaw allows a malicious         privileged user within the guest to crash the QEMU process on the         host, resulting in a denial of service.

    CVE-2022-1050

        A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's         paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest driver         to execute HW commands when shared buffers are not yet allocated,         potentially leading to a use-after-free condition.
        Note: PVRDMA is disabled in buster, but this was fixed         preventively in case this changes in the future.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

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

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - address_space_map in exec.c in QEMU 4.2.0 can trigger a NULL pointer dereference related to BounceBuffer.
    (CVE-2020-13659)

  - hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address     in an msi-x mmio operation. (CVE-2020-13754)

  - 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)

  - 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-2020-16092)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in QEMU through 5.0.0 in the SDHCI device emulation support. It     could occur while doing a multi block SDMA transfer via the sdhci_sdma_transfer_multi_blocks() routine in     hw/sd/sdhci.c. A guest user or process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service condition, or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the     QEMU process on the host. (CVE-2020-17380)

  - QEMU 5.0.0 has a heap-based Buffer Overflow in flatview_read_continue in exec.c because hw/sd/sdhci.c     mishandles a write operation in the SDHC_BLKSIZE case. (CVE-2020-25085)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - The patch for CVE-2020-17380/CVE-2020-25085 was found to be ineffective, thus making QEMU vulnerable to     the out-of-bounds read/write access issues previously found in the SDHCI controller emulation code. This     flaw allows a malicious privileged guest to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of     service or potential code execution. QEMU up to (including) 5.2.0 is affected by this. (CVE-2021-3409)

  - A potential stack overflow via infinite loop issue was found in various NIC emulators of QEMU in versions     up to and including 5.2.0. The issue occurs in loopback mode of a NIC wherein reentrant DMA checks get     bypassed. A guest user/process may use this flaw to consume CPU cycles or crash the QEMU process on the     host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-3416)
