1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22267)

The vulnerability allows a guest user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the VBluetoothHCI_PacketOut method in the vbluetooth device. An attacker with administrative access to the guest OS can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with VMX process running on the host.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22268)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Shader functionality within the SVGA virtual device. A malicious guest with non-administrative access to a virtual machine with 3D graphics enabled can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22269)

The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the UrbBuf_getDataBuf function in the vbluetooth device. A malicious guest with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine can read privileged information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine.

4) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22270)

The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the hgfsVMCI_fileread function in the Host Guest File Sharing (HGFS) functionality. A malicious guest with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine can read privileged information contained in hypervisor memory from a virtual machine.
