Red Hat update for qemu-kvm

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

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU13375

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11806

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow when insufficient input and validation checking of Slirp networking back-end processes by the m_cat function, as defined in the slirp/mbuf.c source code file. A remote attacker can send malformed, fragmented packets, trigger memory corruption and cause the QEMU process to crash.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

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-2018-17962

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in pcnet_receive in hw/net/pcnet.c when an incorrect integer data type is used. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted packets over the network, trigger memory corruption and crash the Qemu process.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU18302

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-6778

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the tcp_emu() function in slirp/tcp_subr.c. A local user can send specially crafted networking packets, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and crash the affected system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
