debian lts
Calendar Grey February 18, 2021
Dist Debian Esm H88
Ubuntu LTS has implemented crucial patches for vulnerabilities in OpenSSL, encompassing DDoS risks, data exposure issues, and potential code execution threats.
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor emulator (notably used in KVM and Xen HVM virtualization)

Summary

A MemoryRegionOps object may lack read/write callback methods,
leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2020-15859

QEMU has a use-after-free in hw/net/e1000e_core.c because a guest
OS user can trigger an e1000e packet with the data's address set
to the e1000e's MMIO address.

CVE-2020-25084

QEMU has a use-after-free in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c because the
usb_packet_map return value is not checked.

CVE-2020-28916

hw/net/e1000e_core.c has an infinite loop via an RX descriptor
with a NULL buffer address.

CVE-2020-29130

slirp.c has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain
amount of header data even if that exceeds the total packet
length.

CVE-2020-29443

ide_atapi_cmd_reply_end in hw/ide/atapi.c allows out-of-bounds
read access because a buffer index is not validated.

CVE-2021-20181

9pfs: ZDI-CAN-10904: QEMU Plan 9 file system TOCTOU privilege
escalation vulnerability.

CVE-2021-20221
