A flaw was found in the QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation. This flaw is strictly related to CVE-2018-13405. A local guest user can create files in the directories shared by virtio-fs with unintended group ownership in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of the group. This could allow a malicious unprivileged user inside the guest to gain access to resources accessible to the root group, potentially escalating their privileges within the guest. A malicious local user in the host might also leverage this unexpected executable file created by the guest to escalate their privileges on the host system.

The version of qemu / qemu-kvm installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-0358 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation. This flaw is     strictly related to CVE-2018-13405. A local guest user can create files in the directories shared by     virtio-fs with unintended group ownership in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of the group. This could allow a malicious unprivileged user     inside the guest to gain access to resources accessible to the root group, potentially escalating their     privileges within the guest. A malicious local user in the host might also leverage this unexpected     executable file created by the guest to escalate their privileges on the host system. (CVE-2022-0358)

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the qemu-kvm-6.2.0-7.el9 build changelog.

  - The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create     files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a     plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger     creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can     escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID. (CVE-2018-13405)

  - potential privilege escalation via CVE-2018-13405 [rhel-9.0]) (CVE-2022-0358)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation. This flaw is     strictly related to CVE-2018-13405. A local guest user can create files in the directories shared by     virtio-fs with unintended group ownership in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of the group. This could allow a malicious unprivileged user     inside the guest to gain access to resources accessible to the root group, potentially escalating their     privileges within the guest. A malicious local user in the host might also leverage this unexpected     executable file created by the guest to escalate their privileges on the host system. (CVE-2022-0358)

  - A flaw was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This flaw was inadvertently introduced with the fix for     CVE-2021-3748, which forgot to unmap the cached virtqueue elements on error, leading to memory leakage and     other unexpected results. Affected QEMU version: 6.2.0. (CVE-2022-26353)

  - A flaw was found in the vhost-vsock device of QEMU. In case of error, an invalid element was not detached     from the virtqueue before freeing its memory, leading to memory leakage and other unexpected results.
    Affected QEMU versions <= 6.2.0. (CVE-2022-26354)

  - An integer underflow issue was found in the QEMU VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages in the     extended format. A malicious client could use this flaw to make QEMU unresponsive by sending a specially     crafted payload message, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3165)

  - softmmu/physmem.c in QEMU through 7.0.0 can perform an uninitialized read on the translate_fail path,     leading to an io_readx or io_writex crash.

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. It could occur when the     descriptor's address belongs to the non direct access region, due to num_buffers being set after the     virtqueue elem has been unmapped. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash QEMU, resulting in a     denial of service condition, or potentially execute code on the host with the privileges of the QEMU     process. (CVE-2021-3748)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the     Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be     written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions (such as reset) while the device is     still transferring packets. This can ultimately lead to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5133 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. A double fetch of guest controlled values     `cursor->header.width` and `cursor->header.height` can lead to the allocation of a small cursor object     followed by a subsequent heap-based buffer overflow. A malicious privileged guest user could use this flaw     to crash the QEMU process on the host or potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU     process. (CVE-2021-4207)

  - A flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. An integer overflow in the cursor_alloc()     function can lead to the allocation of a small cursor object followed by a subsequent heap-based buffer     overflow. This flaw allows a malicious privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process. (CVE-2021-4206)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation. This flaw is     strictly related to CVE-2018-13405. A local guest user can create files in the directories shared by     virtio-fs with unintended group ownership in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and     is writable by a user who is not a member of the group. This could allow a malicious unprivileged user     inside the guest to gain access to resources accessible to the root group, potentially escalating their     privileges within the guest. A malicious local user in the host might also leverage this unexpected     executable file created by the guest to escalate their privileges on the host system. (CVE-2022-0358)

  - A flaw was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This flaw was inadvertently introduced with the fix for     CVE-2021-3748, which forgot to unmap the cached virtqueue elements on error, leading to memory leakage and     other unexpected results. Affected QEMU version: 6.2.0. (CVE-2022-26353)

  - A flaw was found in the vhost-vsock device of QEMU. In case of error, an invalid element was not detached     from the virtqueue before freeing its memory, leading to memory leakage and other unexpected results.
    Affected QEMU versions <= 6.2.0. (CVE-2022-26354)

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:0930-1 advisory.

  - An off-by-one error was found in the SCSI device emulation in QEMU. It could occur while processing MODE     SELECT commands in mode_sense_page() if the 'page' argument was set to MODE_PAGE_ALLS (0x3f). A malicious     guest could use this flaw to potentially crash QEMU, resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2021-3930)
