Memory leak in the v9fs_read function in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors related to an I/O read operation.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - Qemu: ps2: information leakage via post_load routine (CVE-2017-16845)

  - QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with an IDE AHCI emulation support is vulnerable to a null pointer     dereference flaw. It occurs while unmapping the Frame Information Structure (FIS) and Command List Block     (CLB) entries. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process instance     resulting in DoS. (CVE-2016-2197)

  - The mptsas_fetch_requests function in hw/scsi/mptsas.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS     administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and CPU consumption or QEMU process crash) via     vectors involving s->state. (CVE-2016-4964)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

CVE-2016-8577

qemu-kvm built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a I/O read operation in v9fs_read() routine.

CVE-2016-8578

qemu-kvm built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference issue. It could occur while doing an I/O vector unmarshalling operation in v9fs_iov_vunmarshal() routine.

CVE-2016-8669

qemu-kvm built with the 16550A UART emulation support is vulnerable to a divide by zero issue. It could occur while updating serial device parameters in 'serial_update_parameters'.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
