Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free
EUVDB-ID: #VU60616
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22040
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the XHCI USB controller. A remote user with administrative permissions on the guest OS can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the hypervisor.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsDell Enterprise Hybrid Cloud: before 4.1.2
CPE2.3 External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated privileged user via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Race condition
EUVDB-ID: #VU60617
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22041
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a double-fetch vulnerability in the UHCI USB controller. A remote user with administrative permissions on the guest OS can
trigger a race condition and execute arbitrary code as the virtual
machine's VMX process running on the host.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the hypervisor.
