Debian LTS: DLA-2560-1: qemu security update
Summary
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor
emulator (notably used in KVM and Xen HVM virtualization). An attacker
could trigger a denial-of-service (DoS), information leak, and
possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU
process on the host.
CVE-2020-15469
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
aarch64: GIC: out-of-bound heap buffer access via an interrupt ID
field.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u13.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
