The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1942-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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-2020-14364)

  - 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)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2020-28916     (CVE-2020-25707)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by     its CNA. Notes: none. (CVE-2021-3419)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:1043-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - 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 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.

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by     its CNA. Notes: none. (CVE-2021-3419)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)
