Debian update for qemu

1) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU22783

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-2019-12068

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in lsi_execute_script() when reading empty opcode. A local user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

Mitigation

Update qemu package to version 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u5.

Vulnerable software versions

qemu (Debian package): 1:3.1+dfsg-8~deb10u1 - 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u4

2) 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 qemu package to version 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u5.

3) 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 qemu package to version 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u5.

4) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU27389

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 7.7 [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:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1983

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing packets within the ip_reass() function in ip_input.c in libslirp. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and crash it.

Mitigation

Update qemu package to version 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u5.
