Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2212)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in the virtio subsystem in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 and earlier allows privileged guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) or gain privileges via a crafted indirect descriptor related to "virtqueue in and out requests."


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-1750)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to execute arbitrary code.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the virtio-blk driver (hw/virtio-blk.c) in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 allow local guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) and possibly gain privileges via a (1) write request to the virtio_blk_handle_write function or (2) read request to the virtio_blk_handle_read function that is not properly aligned.
