Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU64570

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3929

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the NVM Express Controller emulation in QEMU within the dma_buf_write() and dma_buf_read() function in hw/nvme/ctrl.c:nvme_tx(). A remote privileged user on the guest OS can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
