Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12068)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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 a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in lsi_execute_script() when reading empty opcode. A local user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15034)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the hw/display/bochs-display.c in QEMU due to application does not ensure a sufficient PCI config space allocation. A local user can trigger a buffer overflow and escalate privileges on the system.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20382)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the zrle_compress_data() function in ui/vnc-enc-zrle.c during a VNC disconnect operation because libz is misused, resulting in a situation where memory allocated in deflateInit2 is not freed in deflateEnd. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1983)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing packets within the ip_reass() function in ip_input.c in libslirp. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and crash it.
