The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-4556 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in qemu Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) before version 3.1.0. A path traversal in the in     usb_mtp_write_data function in hw/usb/dev-mtp.c due to an improper filename sanitization. When the guest     device is mounted in read-write mode, this allows to read/write arbitrary files which may lead do DoS     scenario OR possibly lead to code execution on the host. (CVE-2018-16867)

  - hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_main.c in QEMU does not implement a read operation (such as uar_read by analogy to     uar_write), which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference).
    (CVE-2018-20191)

  - A flaw was found in qemu Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). The code opening files in usb_mtp_get_object and     usb_mtp_get_partial_object and directories in usb_mtp_object_readdir doesn't consider that the underlying     filesystem may have changed since the time lstat(2) was called in usb_mtp_object_alloc, a classical     TOCTTOU problem. An attacker with write access to the host filesystem shared with a guest can use this     property to navigate the host filesystem in the context of the QEMU process and read any file the QEMU     process has access to. Access to the filesystem may be local or via a network share protocol such as CIFS.
    (CVE-2018-16872)

  - QEMU can have an infinite loop in hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_dev_ring.c because return values are not checked (and
    -1 is mishandled). (CVE-2018-20216)

  - hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_cmd.c in QEMU allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     or excessive memory allocation) in create_cq_ring or create_qp_rings. (CVE-2018-20125)

  - hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_cmd.c in QEMU allows create_cq and create_qp memory leaks because errors are     mishandled. (CVE-2018-20126)

  - pvrdma_realize in hw/rdma/vmw/pvrdma_main.c in QEMU has a Memory leak after an initialisation error.
    (CVE-2018-20123)
