Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:162

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : qemu

Date : August 7, 2008

Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Qemu.

 

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the cirrus_invalidate_region

function in the Cirrus VGA extension in QEMU 0.8.2, as used in Xen and

possibly other products, might allow local users to execute arbitrary

code via unspecified vectors related to attempting to mark non-existent

regions as dirty, aka the bitblt heap overflow. (CVE-2007-1320)

 

Integer signedness error in the NE2000 emulator in QEMU 0.8.2,

as used in Xen and possibly other products, allows local users to

trigger a heap-based buffer overflow via certain register values

that bypass sanity checks, aka QEMU NE2000 receive integer signedness

error. (CVE-2007-1321)

 

QEMU 0.8.2 allows local users to halt a virtual machine by executing

the icebp instruction. (CVE-2007-1322)

 

QEMU 0.8.2 allows local users to crash a virtual machine via the

divisor operand to the aam instruction, as demonstrated by aam 0x0,

which triggers a divide-by-zero error. (CVE-2007-1366)

 

The NE2000 emulator in QEMU 0.8.2 allows local users to execute

arbitrary code by writing Ethernet frames with a size larger than

the MTU to the EN0_TCNT register, which triggers a heap-based

buffer overflow in the slirp library, aka NE2000 mtu heap

overflow. (CVE-2007-5729)

 

Heap-based buffer overflow in QEMU 0.8.2, as used in Xen and possibly

other products, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via

crafted data in the net socket listen option, aka QEMU net socket

heap overflow. (CVE-2007-5730)

 

QEMU 0.9.0 allows local users of a Windows XP SP2 guest operating

system to overwrite the TranslationBlock (code_gen_buffer) buffer,

and probably have unspecified other impacts related to an overflow,

via certain Windows executable programs, as demonstrated by

qemu-dos.com. (CVE-2007-6227)

 

Qemu 0.9.1 and earlier does not perform range checks for block

device read or write requests, which allows guest host users with

root privileges to access arbitrary memory and escape the virtual

machine. (CVE-2008-0928)

 

Changing removable media in QEMU could trigger a bug similar to

CVE-2008-2004, which would allow local guest users to read arbitrary

files on the host by modifying the header of the image to identify

a different format. (CVE-2008-1945) See the diskformat: parameter to

the -usbdevice option.

 

The drive_init function in QEMU 0.9.1 determines the format of

a raw disk image based on the header, which allows local guest

users to read arbitrary files on the host by modifying the header

to identify a different format, which is used when the guest is

restarted. (CVE-2008-2004) See the -format option.

 

The updated packages have been patched to fix these issues.
