Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10761)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in the Network Block Device(NBD) Server. This flaw occurs when an nbd-client sends a spec-compliant request that is near the boundary of maximum permitted request length. A remote nbd-client could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in a denial of service.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13361)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing frame count in es1370_transfer_audio in hw/audio/es1370.c. A local user on the guest operating system can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the host operating system.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13362)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in megasas_lookup_frame in hw/scsi/megasas.c. A local user on the guest operating system can pass specially crafted message with reply_queue_head field, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13659)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

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:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in exec.c, related to BounceBuffer. A local user on the guest operating system can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the host system.


5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13800)

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

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:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in ati-vga in hw/display/ati.c. A local user on the guest operating system can trigger infinite recursion via a crafted mm_index value during an ati_mm_read or ati_mm_write call and perform a denial of service attack against the host system.
