Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26327)
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 malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the register_vfs() function in hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c in VF implementations. A malicious guest can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3446)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
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 malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in QEMU virtio devices (virtio-gpu, virtio-serial-bus, virtio-crypto), where the mem_reentrancy_guard flag insufficiently protects against DMA reentrancy issues. A malicious guest can trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host.
3) Improper synchronization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7409)
CWE-ID: CWE-662 - Improper Synchronization
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 malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization during socket closure in the QEMU NBD Server. A malicious guest can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
