Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU27544

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11102

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary within hw/net/tulip.c in QEMU during the copying of tx/rx buffers because the frame size is not validated against the r/w data length. A remote attacker can  trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
app-emulation/qemu to version: 4.2.0-r5

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

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.

2) 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.
app-emulation/qemu to version: 4.2.0-r5

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user 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: #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.
app-emulation/qemu to version: 4.2.0-r5

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.
