VNC server implementation in Quick Emulator (QEMU) 2.11.0 and older was found to be vulnerable to an unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If the client did not consume these updates, VNC server allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause DoS to the server host.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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.

  - xsa224 xen: grant table operations mishandle reference counts (XSA-224) (CVE-2017-10921)

  - The qemu implementation in libvirt before 1.3.0 and Xen allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of     service (host disk consumption) by writing to stdout or stderr. (CVE-2014-3672)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the PCNET controller in QEMU allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     code by sending a packet with TXSTATUS_STARTPACKET set and then a crafted packet with TXSTATUS_DEVICEOWNS     set. (CVE-2015-3209)

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

According to the versions of the qemu packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow issue was found in the NE200 NIC     emulation. It could occur while receiving packets from     the network, if the size value was greater than     INT_MAX. Such overflow would lead to stack buffer     overflow issue. A user inside guest could use this flaw     to crash the QEMU process, resulting in DoS scenario.
    (CVE-2018-10839)

  - qmp_guest_file_read in qga/commands-posix.c and     qga/commands-win32.c in qemu-ga (aka QEMU Guest Agent)     in QEMU 2.12.50 has an integer overflow causing a     g_malloc0() call to trigger a segmentation fault when     trying to allocate a large memory chunk. The     vulnerability can be exploited by sending a crafted QMP     command (including guest-file-read with a large count     value) to the agent via the listening     socket.(CVE-2018-12617)

  - Qemu before version 2.9 is vulnerable to an improper     link following when built with the VirtFS. A privileged     user inside guest could use this flaw to access host     file system beyond the shared folder and potentially     escalating their privileges on a host. (CVE-2016-9602)

  - Quick Emulator (QEMU), compiled with the PC System     Emulator with multiboot feature support, is vulnerable     to an OOB r/w memory access issue. The issue could     occur while loading a kernel image during the guest     boot, if mh_load_end_addr address is greater than the     mh_bss_end_addr address. A user or process could use     this flaw to potentially achieve arbitrary code     execution on a host.(CVE-2018-7550)

  - An out-of-bounds read access issue was found in the VGA     display emulator built into the Quick emulator (QEMU).
    It could occur while reading VGA memory to update     graphics display. A privileged user/process inside     guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on     the host resulting in denial of service     situation.(CVE-2017-13672)

  - An assert failure issue was found in the VGA display     emulator built into the Quick emulator (QEMU). It could     occur while updating graphics display, due to     miscalculating region for dirty bitmap snapshot in     split screen mode. A privileged user/process inside     guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on     the host resulting in denial of service.
    (CVE-2017-13673)

  - The Network Block Device (NBD) server in Quick Emulator     (QEMU), is vulnerable to a denial of service issue. It     could occur if a client sent large option requests,     making the server waste CPU time on reading up to 4GB     per request. A client could use this flaw to keep the     NBD server from serving other requests, resulting in     DoS.(CVE-2017-15119)

  - QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) before 2.9.0, when built with     the USB OHCI Emulation support, allows local guest OS     users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by     leveraging an incorrect return value, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2017-6505.(CVE-2017-9330)

  - Integer overflow in the macro ROUND_UP (n, d) in Quick     Emulator (Qemu) allows a user to cause a denial of     service (Qemu process crash). (CVE-2017-18043)

  - VNC server implementation in Quick Emulator (QEMU) was     found to be vulnerable to an unbounded memory     allocation issue, as it did not throttle the     framebuffer updates sent to its client. If the client     did not consume these updates, VNC server allocates     growing memory to hold onto this data.

  - A memory leakage issue was found in the I/O channels     websockets implementation of the Quick Emulator (QEMU).
    It could occur while sending screen updates to a     client, which is slow to read and process them further.
    A privileged guest user could use this flaw to cause a     denial of service on the host and/or potentially crash     the QEMU process instance on the host.(CVE-2017-15268)

  - Quick Emulator (QEMU), compiled with the PC System     Emulator with multiboot feature support, is vulnerable     to an OOB r/w memory access issue. The issue could     occur due to an integer overflow while loading a kernel     image during a guest boot. A user or process could use     this flaw to potentially achieve arbitrary code     execution on a host.(CVE-2017-14167)

  - Memory leak in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built     with IDE AHCI Emulation support, allows local guest OS     privileged users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by repeatedly hot-unplugging the AHCI     device.(CVE-2017-9373)

  - Memory leak in the serial_exit_core function in     hw/char/serial.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows     local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of     service (host memory consumption and QEMU process     crash) via a large number of device unplug     operations.(CVE-2017-5579)

  - ** DISPUTED ** The disas_insn function in     target/i386/translate.c in QEMU before 2.9.0, when TCG     mode without hardware acceleration is used, does not     limit the instruction size, which allows local users to     gain privileges by creating a modified basic block that     injects code into a setuid program, as demonstrated by     procmail. NOTE: the vendor has stated 'this bug does     not violate any security guarantees QEMU     makes.'(CVE-2017-8284)

  - Memory leak in the keyboard input event handlers     support in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest     OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (host     memory consumption) by rapidly generating large     keyboard events.(CVE-2017-8379)

It relies on the     presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in     the privileged code as well as the fact that memory     read from address to which a recent memory write has     occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause     an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for     speculatively executed instructions that never actually     commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker     could use this flaw to read privileged memory by     conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
    (CVE-2018-3639)

  - Quick Emulator (aka QEMU), when built with the Cirrus     CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support, allows local guest OS     privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds access and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging incorrect region calculation when updating     VGA display.(CVE-2018-7858)

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

An out-of-bounds read access issue was found in the VGA display emulator built into the Quick emulator (QEMU). It could occur while reading VGA memory to update graphics display. A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in denial of service situation.(CVE-2017-13672)

A memory leakage issue was found in the I/O channels websockets implementation of the Quick Emulator (QEMU). It could occur while sending screen updates to a client, which is slow to read and process them further. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the host and/or potentially crash the QEMU process instance on the host.(CVE-2017-15268)

A use-after-free issue was found in the Slirp networking implementation of the Quick emulator (QEMU). It occurs when a Socket referenced from multiple packets is freed while responding to a message. A user/process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in denial of service.(CVE-2017-13711 )

Quick Emulator (aka QEMU), when built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access and QEMU process crash) by leveraging incorrect region calculation when updating VGA display.(CVE-2018-7858)

VNC server implementation in Quick Emulator (QEMU) was found to be vulnerable to an unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If the client did not consume these updates, VNC server allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause DoS to the server host.(CVE-2017-15124)

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.(CVE-2018-3639)

An out-of-bounds read access issue was found in the VGA emulator of QEMU. It could occur in vga_draw_text routine, while updating display area for a vnc client. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS.(CVE-2018-5683)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201804-08 (QEMU: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker could execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of Service       condition, or obtain sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for qemu fixes the following issues: This update has the next round of Spectre v2 related patches, which now integrate with corresponding changes in libvirt. (CVE-2017-5715 bsc#1068032) The January 2018 release of qemu initially addressed the Spectre v2 vulnerability for KVM guests by exposing the spec-ctrl feature for all x86 vcpu types, which was the quick and dirty approach, but not the proper solution. We replaced our initial patch by the patches from upstream. This update defines spec_ctrl and ibpb cpu feature flags as well as new cpu models which are clones of existing models with either
-IBRS or -IBPB added to the end of the model name. These new vcpu models explicitly include the new feature(s), whereas the feature flags can be added to the cpu parameter as with other features. In short, for continued Spectre v2 protection, ensure that either the appropriate cpu feature flag is added to the QEMU command-line, or one of the new cpu models is used. Although migration from older versions is supported, the new cpu features won't be properly exposed to the guest until it is restarted with the cpu features explicitly added. A reboot is insufficient. A warning patch is added which attempts to detect a migration from a qemu version which had the quick and dirty fix (it only detects certain cases, but hopefully is helpful.) For additional information on Spectre v2 as it relates to QEMU, see:
https://www.qemu.org/2018/02/14/qemu-2-11-1-and-spectre-update/ A patch is added to continue to detect Spectre v2 mitigation features (as shown by cpuid), and if found provide that feature to guests, even if running on older KVM (kernel) versions which do not yet expose that feature to QEMU. (bsc#1082276) These two patches will be removed when we can reasonably assume everyone is running with the appropriate updates. Also security fixes for the following CVE issues are included :

  - CVE-2017-15119: The Network Block Device (NBD) server in     Quick Emulator (QEMU), was vulnerable to a denial of     service issue. It could occur if a client sent large     option requests, making the server waste CPU time on     reading up to 4GB per request. A client could use this     flaw to keep the NBD server from serving other requests,     resulting in DoS. (bsc#1070144)

  - CVE-2017-15124: VNC server implementation in Quick     Emulator (QEMU) was found to be vulnerable to an     unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not     throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If     the client did not consume these updates, VNC server     allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A     malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause     DoS to the server host. (bsc#1073489)

  - CVE-2017-16845: The PS2 driver in Qemu did not validate     'rptr' and 'count' values during guest migration,     leading to out-of-bounds access. (bsc#1068613)

  - CVE-2017-17381: The Virtio Vring implementation in QEMU     allowed local OS guest users to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash) by     unsetting vring alignment while updating Virtio rings.
    (bsc#1071228)

  - CVE-2017-18030: A problem in the Cirrus driver in Qemu     allowed local OS guest privileged users to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds array access and QEMU     process crash) via vectors related to negative pitch.
    (bsc#1076179)

  - CVE-2017-18043: Integer overflow in the macro ROUND_UP     (n, d) in Quick Emulator (Qemu) allowed a user to cause     a denial of service (Qemu process crash). (bsc#1076775)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The VGA driver in Qemu allowed local OS     guest privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging improper memory address validation.
    (bsc#1076114)

  - CVE-2018-7550: The multiboot functionality in Quick     Emulator (aka QEMU) allowed local guest OS users to     execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via an     out-of-bounds read or write memory access. (bsc#1083291)     Also the following bugs were fixed :

  - Eliminate bogus use of CPUID_7_0_EDX_PRED_CMD which     we've carried since the initial Spectre v2 patch was     added. EDX bit 27 of CPUID Leaf 07H, Sub-leaf 0 provides     status on STIBP, and not the PRED_CMD MSR. Exposing the     STIBP CPUID feature bit to the guest is wrong in     general, since the VM doesn't directly control the     scheduling of physical hyperthreads. This is left     strictly to the L0 hypervisor.

  - Spectre fixes for IBM Z series by providing more hw     features to guests (bsc#1076814)

  - Pre-add group kvm for qemu-tools (bsc#1040202)

  - the qemu-tools package also needs a prerequire of group     management tools, from the shadow package. (bsc#1085598)

Although migration from older versions is supported, the new cpu features won't be properly exposed to the guest until it is restarted with the cpu features explicitly added. A reboot is insufficient. A warning patch is added which attempts to detect a migration from a qemu version which had the quick and dirty fix (it only detects certain cases, but hopefully is helpful.) For additional information on Spectre v2 as it relates to QEMU, see:
https://www.qemu.org/2018/02/14/qemu-2-11-1-and-spectre-update/ A patch is added to continue to detect Spectre v2 mitigation features (as shown by cpuid), and if found provide that feature to guests, even if running on older KVM (kernel) versions which do not yet expose that feature to QEMU. (bsc#1082276) These two patches will be removed when we can reasonably assume everyone is running with the appropriate updates. Spectre fixes for IBM Z Series were included by providing more hw features to guests (bsc#1076813) Also security fixes for the following CVE issues are included :

  - CVE-2017-17381: The Virtio Vring implementation in QEMU     allowed local OS guest users to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash) by     unsetting vring alignment while updating Virtio rings.
    (bsc#1071228)

  - CVE-2017-16845: The PS2 driver in Qemu did not validate     'rptr' and 'count' values during guest migration,     leading to out-of-bounds access. (bsc#1068613)

  - CVE-2017-15119: The Network Block Device (NBD) server in     Quick Emulator (QEMU), was vulnerable to a denial of     service issue. It could occur if a client sent large     option requests, making the server waste CPU time on     reading up to 4GB per request. A client could use this     flaw to keep the NBD server from serving other requests,     resulting in DoS. (bsc#1070144)

  - CVE-2017-18043: Integer overflow in the macro ROUND_UP     (n, d) in Quick Emulator (Qemu) allowed a user to cause     a denial of service (Qemu process crash). (bsc#1076775)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The VGA driver in Qemu allowed local OS     guest privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging improper memory address validation.
    (bsc#1076114)

  - CVE-2018-7550: The multiboot functionality in Quick     Emulator (aka QEMU) allowed local guest OS users to     execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via an     out-of-bounds read or write memory access. (bsc#1083291)

  - CVE-2017-15124: VNC server implementation in Quick     Emulator (QEMU) was found to be vulnerable to an     unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not     throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If     the client did not consume these updates, VNC server     allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A     malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause     DoS to the server host. (bsc#1073489) Additional bugs     fixed :

  - Fix pcihp for 1.6 and older machine types (bsc#1074572)

  - Fix packaging dependencies (coreutils) for qemu-ksm     package (bsc#1040202)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3575-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled guest ram. A privileged attacker inside the guest could     use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu     14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-11334)

    David Buchanan discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the VGA device. A privileged attacker inside the     guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only     addressed in Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2017-13672)

    Thomas Garnier discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled multiboot. An attacker could use this issue to     cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. In     the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt     AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-14167)

    Tuomas Tynkkynen discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VirtFS directory sharing. An attacker could use     this issue to obtain sensitive information from host memory. (CVE-2017-15038)

    Eric Blake discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled memory in the NBD server. An attacker could use this     issue to cause the NBD server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu     17.10. (CVE-2017-15118)

    Eric Blake discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain options to the NBD server. An attacker could     use this issue to cause the NBD server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-15119)

    Daniel Berrange discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the VNC server. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in     Ubuntu 17.10. (CVE-2017-15124)

    Carl Brassey discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain websockets. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10.
