Quick Emulator (Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System (9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It could occur while accessing files on a shared host directory. 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.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2018-4289 advisory.

According to the versions of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - qemu-kvm is an open source virtualizer that provides     hardware emulation for the KVM hypervisor. qemu-kvm     acts as a virtual machine monitor together with the KVM     kernel modules, and emulates the hardware for a full     system such as a PC and its assocated peripherals. As     qemu-kvm requires no host kernel patches to run, it is     safe and easy to use. Security Fix(es):Memory leak in     hw/watchdog/wdt_i6300esb.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-2016-10155)Memory leak in the     audio/audio.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) by repeatedly starting and stopping audio     capture.(CVE-2017-8309)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)hw/input/ps2.c in Qemu does not     validate 'rptr' and 'count' values during guest     migration, leading to out-of-bounds access.
    (CVE-2017-16845)The cirrus_invalidate_region function     in hw/display/cirrus_vga.c in Qemu allows 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.(CVE-2017-18030)Quick     Emulator (Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory     sharing via Plan 9 File System (9pfs) support, is     vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It     could occur while accessing files on a shared host     directory. 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-2017-7471)An out-of-bounds read vulnerability     was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the     QEMU emulator. This flaw occurs in the     icmp6_send_echoreply() routine while replying to an     ICMP echo request, also known as ping. This flaw allows     a malicious guest to leak the contents of the host     memory, resulting in possible information disclosure.
    This flaw affects versions of libslirp before     4.3.1.(CVE-2020-10756)The rc4030_write function in     hw/dma/rc4030.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows     local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash)     via a large interval timer reload value.(CVE-2016-8667)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-03 (QEMU: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker might cause a Denial of Service or gain escalated       privileges from a guest VM.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu-kvm, a full virtualization solution for Linux hosts on x86 hardware with x86 guests based on the Quick Emulator(Qemu).

CVE-2016-9602

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper link following issue. It could occur while accessing symbolic link files on a shared host directory.

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-2017-7377

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a I/O operation via v9fs_create/v9fs_lcreate routine.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in Dos.

CVE-2017-7471

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It could occur while accessing files on a shared host directory.

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-2017-7493

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It could occur while accessing virtfs metadata files in mapped-file security mode.

A guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges inside guest.

CVE-2017-8086

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the virtio-9p back-end support is vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while querying file system extended attributes via 9pfs_list_xattr() routine.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to leak host memory resulting in Dos. For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u22.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu-kvm packages.
