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

  - tftp.c in libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, does     not prevent ..\ directory traversal on     Windows.(CVE-2020-7211)

  - interface_release_resource in hw/display/qxl.c in QEMU     4.0.0 has a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2019-12155)

  - QEMU 3.0.0 has an Integer Overflow because the     qga/commands*.c files do not check the length of the     argument list or the number of environment variables.
    NOTE: This has been disputed as not     exploitable.(CVE-2019-12247)

  - qemu-bridge-helper.c in QEMU 4.0.0 does not ensure that     a network interface name (obtained from bridge.conf or     a --br=bridge option) is limited to the IFNAMSIZ size,     which can lead to an ACL bypass.(CVE-2019-13164)

  - 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-2019-14378)

  - An issue was discovered in ide_dma_cb() in     hw/ide/core.c in QEMU 2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest     system can crash the QEMU process in the host system     via a special SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an     assertion that implies that the size of successful DMA     transfers there must be a multiple of 512 (the size of     a sector). NOTE: a member of the QEMU security team     disputes the significance of this issue because a     'privileged guest user has many ways to cause similar     DoS effect, without triggering this     assert.'(CVE-2019-20175)

  - hw/sparc64/sun4u.c in QEMU 3.1.50 is vulnerable to a     NULL pointer dereference, which allows the attacker to     cause a denial of service via a device     driver.(CVE-2019-5008)

  - An OOB heap buffer r/w access issue was found in the     NVM Express Controller emulation in QEMU. It could     occur in nvme_cmb_ops routines in nvme device. A guest     user/process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU     process resulting in DoS or potentially run arbitrary     code with privileges of the QEMU     process.(CVE-2018-16847)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - The load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c in     Quick Emulator (aka QEMU) allows local guest OS users     to execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via a     mh_load_end_addr value greater than mh_bss_end_addr,     which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write memory     access.(CVE-2018-7550)

A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the load_device_tree() function of QEMU, which is invoked to load a device tree blob at boot time. It occurs due to device tree size manipulation before buffer allocation, which could overflow a signed int type. A user/process could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code on a host system with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2018-20815)

hw/sparc64/sun4u.c in QEMU 3.1.50 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference, which allows the attacker to cause a denial of service via a device driver. (CVE-2019-5008)
