A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0, and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD. Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a potential denial of service.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3778 advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service. (CVE-2020-10703)

  - An issue was discovered in qemuDomainGetStatsIOThread in qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt 4.10.0 though 6.x     before 6.1.0. A memory leak was found in the virDomainListGetStats libvirt API that is responsible for     retrieving domain statistics when managing QEMU guests. This flaw allows unprivileged users with a read-     only connection to cause a memory leak in the domstats command, resulting in a potential denial of     service. (CVE-2020-12430)

  - A double free memory issue was found to occur in the libvirt API, in versions before 6.8.0, responsible     for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. This flaw affects the polkit     access control driver. Specifically, clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25637)

  - A flaw was found in libvirt while it generates SELinux MCS category pairs for VMs' dynamic labels. This     flaw allows one exploited guest to access files labeled for another guest, resulting in the breaking out     of sVirt confinement. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
    (CVE-2021-3631)

  - An improper locking issue was found in the virStoragePoolLookupByTargetPath API of libvirt. It occurs in     the storagePoolLookupByTargetPath function where a locked virStoragePoolObj object is not properly     released on ACL permission failure. Clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to acquire the lock and prevent other users from accessing storage     pool/volume APIs, resulting in a denial of service condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability     is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3667)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in libvirt. The qemuMonitorUnregister() function in     qemuProcessHandleMonitorEOF is called using multiple threads without being adequately protected by a     monitor lock. This flaw could be triggered by the virConnectGetAllDomainStats API when the guest is     shutting down. An unprivileged client with a read-only connection could use this flaw to perform a denial     of service attack by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2021-3975)

  - A flaw was found in the libvirt libxl driver. A malicious guest could continuously reboot itself and cause     libvirtd on the host to deadlock or crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2021-4147)

  - A flaw was found in the libvirt nwfilter driver. The virNWFilterObjListNumOfNWFilters method failed to     acquire the driver->nwfilters mutex before iterating over virNWFilterObj instances. There was no     protection to stop another thread from concurrently modifying the driver->nwfilters object. This flaw     allows a malicious, unprivileged user to exploit this issue via libvirt's API virConnectNumOfNWFilters to     crash the network filter management daemon (libvirtd/virtnwfilterd). (CVE-2022-0897)

  - An off-by-one error flaw was found in the udevListInterfacesByStatus() function in libvirt when the number     of interfaces exceeds the size of the `names` array. This issue can be reproduced by sending specially     crafted data to the libvirt daemon, allowing an unprivileged client to perform a denial of service attack     by causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-1441)

  - A flaw was found in the RPC library APIs of libvirt. The RPC server deserialization code allocates memory     for arrays before the non-negative length check is performed by the C API entry points. Passing a negative     length to the g_new0 function results in a crash due to the negative length being treated as a huge     positive number. This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to perform a denial of service attack by     causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-2494)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This     issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces     via virConnectListAllInterfaces API. This flaw could be used to perform a denial of service attack by     causing the libvirt daemon to crash. (CVE-2024-2496)

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20201105.1021. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20201105.1021 advisory.

  - libpng before 1.6.32 does not properly check the length of chunks against the user limit. (CVE-2017-12652)

  - In libexpat in Expat before 2.2.7, XML input including XML names that contain a large number of colons     could make the XML parser consume a high amount of RAM and CPU resources while processing (enough to be     usable for denial-of-service attacks). (CVE-2018-20843)

  - When importing a curve25519 private key in PKCS#8format with leading 0x00 bytes, it is possible to trigger     an out-of-bounds read in the Network Security Services (NSS) library. This could lead to information     disclosure. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
    (CVE-2019-11719)

  - A vulnerability exists where it possible to force Network Security Services (NSS) to sign     CertificateVerify with PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures when those are the only ones advertised by server in     CertificateRequest in TLS 1.3. PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures should not be used for TLS 1.3 messages. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 68. (CVE-2019-11727)

  - Improper refcounting of soft token session objects could cause a use-after-free and crash (likely limited     to a denial of service). This vulnerability affects Firefox < 71. (CVE-2019-11756)

  - file_copy_fallback in gio/gfile.c in GNOME GLib 2.15.0 through 2.61.1 does not properly restrict file     permissions while a copy operation is in progress. Instead, default permissions are used. (CVE-2019-12450)

  - dbus before 1.10.28, 1.12.x before 1.12.16, and 1.13.x before 1.13.12, as used in DBusServer in Canonical     Upstart in Ubuntu 14.04 (and in some, less common, uses of dbus-daemon), allows cookie spoofing because of     symlink mishandling in the reference implementation of DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 in the libdbus library. (This only     affects the DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 authentication mechanism.) A malicious client with write access to its own     home directory could manipulate a ~/.dbus-keyrings symlink to cause a DBusServer with a different uid to     read and write in unintended locations. In the worst case, this could result in the DBusServer reusing a     cookie that is known to the malicious client, and treating that cookie as evidence that a subsequent     client connection came from an attacker-chosen uid, allowing authentication bypass. (CVE-2019-12749)

  - A flaw was discovered in ibus in versions before 1.5.22 that allows any unprivileged user to monitor and     send method calls to the ibus bus of another user due to a misconfiguration in the DBus server setup. A     local attacker may use this flaw to intercept all keystrokes of a victim user who is using the graphical     interface, change the input method engine, or modify other input related configurations of the victim     user. (CVE-2019-14822)

  - In all versions of cpio before 2.13 does not properly validate input files when generating TAR archives.
    When cpio is used to create TAR archives from paths an attacker can write to, the resulting archive may     contain files with permissions the attacker did not have or in paths he did not have access to. Extracting     those archives from a high-privilege user without carefully reviewing them may lead to the compromise of     the system. (CVE-2019-14866)

  - In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to     document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber)     then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read. (CVE-2019-15903)

  - The documentation XML-RPC server in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4 has     XSS via the server_title field. This occurs in Lib/DocXMLRPCServer.py in Python 2.x, and in     Lib/xmlrpc/server.py in Python 3.x. If set_server_title is called with untrusted input, arbitrary     JavaScript can be delivered to clients that visit the http URL for this server. (CVE-2019-16935)

  - In Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.46, several cryptographic primitives had missing length     checks. In cases where the application calling the library did not perform a sanity check on the inputs it     could result in a crash due to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17006)

  - After a HelloRetryRequest has been sent, the client may negotiate a lower protocol that TLS 1.3, resulting     in an invalid state transition in the TLS State Machine. If the client gets into this state, incoming     Application Data records will be ignored. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 72. (CVE-2019-17023)

  - In libssh2 v1.9.0 and earlier versions, the SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT logic in packet.c has an integer overflow     in a bounds check, enabling an attacker to specify an arbitrary (out-of-bounds) offset for a subsequent     memory read. A crafted SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of     service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server. (CVE-2019-17498)

  - On the x86-64 architecture, the GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.31 fails to ignore the     LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable during program execution after a security transition,     allowing local attackers to restrict the possible mapping addresses for loaded libraries and thus bypass     ASLR for a setuid program. (CVE-2019-19126)

  - xmlParseBalancedChunkMemoryRecover in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.10 has a memory leak related to     newDoc->oldNs. (CVE-2019-19956)

  - An issue was discovered in button_open in login/logind-button.c in systemd before 243. When executing the     udevadm trigger command, a memory leak may occur. (CVE-2019-20386)

  - xmlSchemaPreRun in xmlschemas.c in libxml2 2.9.10 allows an xmlSchemaValidateStream memory leak.
    (CVE-2019-20388)

  - qemu/qemu_driver.c in libvirt before 6.0.0 mishandles the holding of a monitor job during a query to a     guest agent, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (API blockage). (CVE-2019-20485)

  - In Lib/tarfile.py in Python through 3.8.3, an attacker is able to craft a TAR archive leading to an     infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation. (CVE-2019-20907)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Optimizer). Supported     versions that are affected are 5.6.45 and prior, 5.7.27 and prior and 8.0.17 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang     or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. (CVE-2019-2974)

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the quota file functionality of E2fsprogs 1.45.3. A     specially crafted ext4 partition can cause an out-of-bounds write on the heap, resulting in code     execution. An attacker can corrupt a partition to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5094)

  - A code execution vulnerability exists in the directory rehashing functionality of E2fsprogs e2fsck 1.45.4.
    A specially crafted ext4 directory can cause an out-of-bounds write on the stack, resulting in code     execution. An attacker can corrupt a partition to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5188)

  - Heap buffer overflow in the TFTP protocol handler in cURL 7.19.4 to 7.65.3. (CVE-2019-5482)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service. (CVE-2020-10703)

  - In filter.c in slapd in OpenLDAP before 2.4.50, LDAP search filters with nested boolean expressions can     result in denial of service (daemon crash). (CVE-2020-12243)

  - When converting coordinates from projective to affine, the modular inversion was not performed in constant     time, resulting in a possible timing-based side channel attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80     and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-12400)

  - During ECDSA signature generation, padding applied in the nonce designed to ensure constant-time scalar     multiplication was removed, resulting in variable-time execution dependent on secret data. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80. (CVE-2020-12401)

  - During RSA key generation, bignum implementations used a variation of the Binary Extended Euclidean     Algorithm which entailed significantly input-dependent flow. This allowed an attacker able to perform     electromagnetic-based side channel attacks to record traces leading to the recovery of the secret primes.
    *Note:* An unmodified Firefox browser does not generate RSA keys in normal operation and is not affected,     but products built on top of it might. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78. (CVE-2020-12402)

  - A flaw was found in the way CHACHA20-POLY1305 was implemented in NSS in versions before 3.55. When using     multi-part Chacha20, it could cause out-of-bounds reads. This issue was fixed by explicitly disabling     multi-part ChaCha20 (which was not functioning correctly) and strictly enforcing tag length. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and system availability. (CVE-2020-12403)

  - libcroco through 0.6.13 has excessive recursion in cr_parser_parse_any_core in cr-parser.c, leading to     stack consumption. (CVE-2020-12825)

  - Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and     IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application     is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this     attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created. This is fixed in: v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1; v3.6.12;
    v3.7.9; v3.8.4, v3.8.4rc1, v3.8.5, v3.8.6, v3.8.6rc1; v3.9.0, v3.9.0b4, v3.9.0b5, v3.9.0rc1, v3.9.0rc2.
    (CVE-2020-14422)

  - Heap buffer overflow in Freetype in Google Chrome prior to 86.0.4240.111 allowed a remote attacker to     potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2020-15999)

  - A double free memory issue was found to occur in the libvirt API, in versions before 6.8.0, responsible     for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. This flaw affects the polkit     access control driver. Specifically, clients connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL     permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or     potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data     confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-25637)

  - A use after free vulnerability in ip_reass() in ip_input.c of libslirp 4.2.0 and prior releases allows     crafted packets to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-1983)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible introduced in upstream version 3.10.0,     and fixed in libvirt 6.0.0, for fetching a storage pool based on its target path. In more detail, this     flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as network-based pools like gluster and RBD.
    Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon,     resulting in a potential denial of service. (CVE-2020-10703)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability was found in libvirt in versions before 6.3.0. HTTP cookies used     to access network-based disks were saved in the XML dump of the guest domain. This flaw allows an attacker     to access potentially sensitive information in the domain configuration via the `dumpxml` command.
    (CVE-2020-14301)

  - A flaw was found in libvirt, where it leaked a file descriptor for `/dev/mapper/control` into the QEMU     process. This file descriptor allows for privileged operations to happen against the device-mapper on the     host. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to perform operations outside of their standard     permissions, potentially causing serious damage to the host operating system. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-14339)

The version of libvirt installed on the remote host is prior to 4.5.0-36. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1557 advisory.

    A flaw was found in the way the libvirtd daemon issued the 'suspend' command to a QEMU guest-agent running     inside a guest, where it holds a monitor job while issuing the 'suspend' command to a guest-agent. A     malicious guest-agent may use this flaw to block the libvirt daemon indefinitely, resulting in a denial of     service. (CVE-2019-20485)

    A NULL pointer dereference was found in the libvirt API responsible for fetching a storage pool based on     its target path. In more detail, this flaw affects storage pools created without a target path such as     network-based pools like gluster and RBD. Unprivileged users with a read-only connection could abuse this     flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a potential denial of service. (CVE-2020-10703)
