Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3180)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req() function in hw/virtio/virtio-crypto.c of the QEMU virtual crypto device when handling data encryption/decryption requests. A local user trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service 9DoS) attack.


2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3301)

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