SB2023082605 - openEuler 22.03 LTS update for qemu

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3180)

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

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 a boundary error within the virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req() function in hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c of the QEMU virtual crypto device when handling data encryption/decryption requests. A local user trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service 9DoS) attack.

2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3301)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion. When a peer nic is still attached to the vdpa backend, it is too early to free up the vhost-net and vdpa structures. If these structures are freed here, then QEMU crashes when the guest is being shut down.

Remediation
