Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.

1) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU46790

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25084

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in USB(xHCI/eHCI) controller emulators of QEMU in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c and hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c files when processing USB packets. A remote user on the guest operating system can send specially crafted data to the controller, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the QEMU process.


Mitigation

Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
