Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3447)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SDHCI device emulation. A malicious guest can set both "s->data_count" and the size of "s->fifo_buffer" to the value of "0x200" to trigger an out-of-bound memory access and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) 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.
