Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU15995

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10839

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when built with the NE2000 NIC emulation support. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted packets over the network, trigger memory corruption and crash the Qemu process.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.0

2) Improper input validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU16553

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15746

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in qemu-seccomp.c due to an error when processing malicious input. An adjacent attacker can leverage mishandling of the seccomp policy for threads other than the main thread and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

3) Heap out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU16556

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16847

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in nvme_cmb_ops routines in nvme device due to OOB heap buffer read access issue in the NVM Express Controller emulation'. An adjacent attacker can crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS or potentially run arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

4) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU16554

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17958

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in rtl8139_do_receive in hw/net/rtl8139.c because an incorrect integer data type is used. An adjacent attacker can trigger integer overflow and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17963

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18849

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to message length value in 'msg_len' could be invalid due to an invalid migration stream while writing a message in 'lsi_do_msgin'. An adjacent attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read and cause the service to crash.
