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.

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

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)

  - 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 SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-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)

  - 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)
