xen was updated to version 4.4.3 to fix nine security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-4037: The slirp_smb function in net/slirp.c     created temporary files with predictable names, which     allowed local users to cause a denial of service     (instantiation failure) by creating /tmp/qemu-smb.*-*     files before the program (bsc#932267).

  - CVE-2014-0222: Integer overflow in the qcow_open     function allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (crash) via a large L2 table in a QCOW version 1     image (bsc#877642).

  - CVE-2015-7835: Uncontrolled creation of large page     mappings by PV guests (bsc#950367).

  - CVE-2015-7311: libxl in Xen did not properly handle the     readonly flag on disks when using the qemu-xen device     model, which allowed local guest users to write to a     read-only disk image (bsc#947165).

  - CVE-2015-5239: Integer overflow in vnc_client_read() and     protocol_client_msg() (bsc#944463).

  - CVE-2015-6815: With e1000 NIC emulation support it was     possible to enter an infinite loop (bsc#944697).

  - CVE-2015-7969: Leak of main per-domain vcpu pointer     array leading to denial of service (bsc#950703).

  - CVE-2015-7969: Leak of per-domain profiling- related     vcpu pointer array leading to denial of service     (bsc#950705).

  - CVE-2015-7971: Some pmu and profiling hypercalls log     without rate limiting (bsc#950706).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2745-1 advisory.

    Lian Yihan discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain payload messages in the VNC display driver. A     malicious guest could use this issue to cause the QEMU process to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-5239)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled receiving certain packets in the NE2000 network     driver. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause the QEMU process to hang, resulting in a denial of     service. (CVE-2015-5278)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled receiving certain packets in the NE2000 network     driver. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with     libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-5279)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled transmit descriptor data when sending network     packets. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause the QEMU process to hang, resulting in a denial     of service. (CVE-2015-6815)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled ATAPI command permissions. A malicious guest could     use this issue to cause the QEMU process to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-6855)

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu-kvm, a full virtualization solution on x86 hardware.

  - CVE-2015-5278     Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered an infinite     loop issue in the NE2000 NIC emulation. A privileged     guest user could use this flaw to mount a denial of     service (QEMU process crash).

  - CVE-2015-5279     Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered a heap buffer     overflow flaw in the NE2000 NIC emulation. A privileged     guest user could use this flaw to mount a denial of     service (QEMU process crash), or potentially to execute     arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the     hosting QEMU process.

  - CVE-2015-6815     Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered an infinite     loop issue in the e1000 NIC emulation. A privileged     guest user could use this flaw to mount a denial of     service (QEMU process crash).

  - CVE-2015-6855     Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 Inc. discovered a flaw in the     IDE subsystem in QEMU occurring while executing IDE's     WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX command to determine the maximum     size of a drive. A privileged guest user could use this     flaw to mount a denial of service (QEMU process crash).

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu, a fast processor emulator.
