Security Fix(es):
qemu: An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Message Signalled Interrupt (MSI-X) device support of QEMU. This issue occurs while performing MSI-X mmio operations when a guest sent address goes beyond the mmio region. A guest user or process may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-13754)
qemu: A reachable assertion vulnerability was found in the USB EHCI emulation code of QEMU. This issue occurs while processing USB requests due to missed handling of DMA memory map failure. This flaw allows a malicious privileged user within the guest to send bogus USB requests and crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.(CVE-2020-25723)
qemu: 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.(CVE-2020-27821)
qemu: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the am53c974 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU during the handling of the 'Information Transfer' command (CMD_TI). This flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service or potential code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2020-35506)
qemu: 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. This flaw allows a guest to consume CPU cycles on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.(CVE-2021-20257)
qemu: A potential stack overflow via infinite loop issue was found in various NIC emulators of QEMU. 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)
qemu: A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. It could occur when the descriptor's address belongs to the non direct access region, due to num_buffers being set after the virtqueue elem has been unmapped. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash QEMU, resulting in a denial of service condition, or potentially execute code on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.(CVE-2021-3748)
qemu: An off-by-one error was found in the SCSI device emulation in QEMU. It could occur while processing MODE SELECT commands in mode_sense_page() if the 'page' argument was set to MODE_PAGE_ALLS (0x3f). A malicious guest could use this flaw to potentially crash QEMU, resulting in a denial of service condition.(CVE-2021-3930)
qemu: A flaw was found in the vhost-vsock device of QEMU. In case of error, an invalid element was not detached from the virtqueue before freeing its memory, leading to memory leakage and other unexpected results.(CVE-2022-26354)
qemu: A NULL pointer dereference bug was found in the rocker device (emulated ethernet switch) of QEMU. The rocker_tlv_parse_nested() function could return early because of no group ids in the group_tlvs array. In such case, the tlvs pointer is NULL and tlvs[i + 1] in the next for-loop iteration ends up dereferencing a NULL pointer.(CVE-2022-36648)
qemu: bugfix
python-cryptography: A null-pointer dereference vulnerability was found in python-cryptography during the loading of PKCS7 certificates. Invoking "load_pem_pkcs7_certificates" or "load_der_pkcs7_certificates" can trigger this issue and lead to subsequent segmentation fault and result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for any application aiming to deserialize a PKCS7 blob or certificate. The potential impact includes disruptions in system availability and stability.(CVE-2023-49083)
