The qemu-nbd server in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with the Network Block Device (NBD) Server support, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and server crash) by leveraging failure to ensure that all initialization occurs before talking to a client in the nbd_negotiate function.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2408 advisory.

    KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of     architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines     that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server support was vulnerable to a null-     pointer dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing a client that was not initialized due to     failed negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server (denial     of service). (CVE-2017-9524)

    * An information-exposure flaw was found in Quick Emulator (QEMU) in Task Priority Register (TPR)     optimizations for 32-bit Windows guests. The flaw could occur while accessing TPR. A privileged user     inside a guest could use this issue to read portions of the host memory. (CVE-2016-4020)

    * A memory-leak flaw was found in the Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with USB xHCI controller emulation     support. The flaw could occur while doing a USB-device unplug operation. Unplugging the device repeatedly     resulted in leaking host memory, which affected other services on the host. A privileged user inside the     guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service on the host or potentially crash the host's     QEMU process instance. (CVE-2016-7466)

    * Multiple CVEs were fixed as a result of rebase to QEMU 2.9.0. (CVE-2016-6888, CVE-2016-7422,     CVE-2016-8576, CVE-2016-8669, CVE-2016-8909, CVE-2016-8910, CVE-2016-9907, CVE-2016-9911, CVE-2016-9921,     CVE-2016-9922, CVE-2016-10155, CVE-2017-5579, CVE-2017-5973, CVE-2017-6414, CVE-2017-8309, CVE-2017-8379,     CVE-2017-9310, CVE-2017-9373, CVE-2017-9374, CVE-2017-9375)

A     local attacker with permission to execute i2c commands     could exploit this to read stack memory of the qemu     process on the host.(CVE-2019-3812)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU's Media Transfer Protocol     (MTP). The code opening files in usb_mtp_get_object and     usb_mtp_get_partial_object and directories in     usb_mtp_object_readdir doesn't consider that the     underlying filesystem may have changed since the time     lstat(2) was called in usb_mtp_object_alloc, a     classical TOCTTOU problem. An attacker with write     access to the host filesystem, shared with a guest, can     use this property to navigate the host filesystem in     the context of the QEMU process and read any file the     QEMU process has access to. Access to the filesystem     may be local or via a network share protocol such as     CIFS.(CVE-2018-16872)

  - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in ide_dma_cb()     in hw/ide/core.c in QEMU 2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest     system can crash the QEMU process in the host system     via a special SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an     assertion that implies that the size of successful DMA     transfers there must be a multiple of 512 (the size of     a sector). NOTE: a member of the QEMU security team     disputes the significance of this issue because a     'privileged guest user has many ways to cause similar     DoS effect, without triggering this     assert.'(CVE-2019-20175)

  - Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device     (NBD) Server support was vulnerable to a null-pointer     dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing     a client that was not initialized due to failed     negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit     this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server (denial of     service).(CVE-2017-9524)

  - Qemu has integer overflows because IOReadHandler and     its associated functions use a signed integer data type     for a size value.(CVE-2018-18438)

  - The Bluetooth subsystem in QEMU mishandles negative     values for length variables, leading to memory     corruption.(CVE-2018-19665)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the version of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - The qemu-nbd server in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when     built with the Network Block Device (NBD) Server     support, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (segmentation fault and server crash) by     leveraging failure to ensure that all initialization     occurs before talking to a client in the nbd_negotiate     function.(CVE-2017-9524)

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 update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for RHEV 3.X Hypervisor and Agents for RHEL-7 and RHEV 4.X RHEV-H and Agents for RHEL-7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es) :

* Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server support was vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing a client, which was not initialized due to failed negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server (denial of service). (CVE-2017-9524)

Bug Fix(es) :

* Previously, when the data plane was in use, changing the target image of a virtual SCSI CD device caused the guest to terminate unexpectedly with a core dump. With this update, the virtio-scsi bus rejects SCSI CDs when the data plane is active, which prevents the crash from occurring. Note that this is a temporary solution, and a full fix to make the data plane and SCSI CD compatible will be provided in the future. (BZ#1461837)
