Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7539)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on a targeted system.
The weakness exists due to an assertion failure when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted data during initial connection negotiation and cause the qemu-nbd server to stop functioning.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
2) Data handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10664)
CWE-ID: CWE-19 - Data Handling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system..
The weakness exists in qemu-nbd due to it does not ignore SIGPIPE. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash by disconnecting during a server-to-client reply attempt.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11334)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows an adjacent authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read. An adjacent attacker can cause the service to crash by leveraging use of qemu_map_ram_ptr to access guest ram block area.
4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14167)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c due to integer overflow. An adjacent attacker can execute arbitrary code via specially crafted multiboot header address values, which trigger an out-of-bounds write.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15289)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows an adjacent authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the mode4and5 write functions in hw/display/cirrus_vga.c due to out-of-bounds write. An adjacent attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash via vectors related to dst calculation.
