Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Release of invalid pointer or reference

EUVDB-ID: #VU54308

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3592

CWE-ID: CWE-763 - Release of invalid pointer or reference

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to invalid pointer initialization within the bootp_input() function while processing UDP packets in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. A malicious guest could use this flaw to leak 10 bytes of uninitialized heap memory from the host.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-libs/libslirp to version: 4.6.0
