Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU27386

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15034

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the hw/display/bochs-display.c in QEMU due to application does not ensure a sufficient PCI config space allocation. A local user can trigger a buffer overflow and escalate privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.1

CPE2.3 External links

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-04/msg00007.html


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU27388

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20382

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the zrle_compress_data() function in ui/vnc-enc-zrle.c during a VNC disconnect operation because libz is misused, resulting in a situation where memory allocated in deflateInit2 is not freed in deflateEnd. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) 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

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

Opensuse: 15.1

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU25510

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1711

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the way the iSCSI Block driver handles a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an "iscsi_co_block_status()" routine. A remote authenticated attacker can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.


Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

5) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU25458

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7039

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the tcp_emu() function in tcp_subr.c in libslirp. An attacker can issue specially crafted IRC DCC commands in EMU_IRC, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

6) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU25456

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8608

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within tcp_subr.c file in libslirp. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application that is using the affected version of library, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
