A flaw was found in QEMU. An assertion failure was present in the usb_ep_get() function in hw/net/core.c when trying to get the USB endpoint from a USB device. This flaw may allow a malicious unprivileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host and cause a denial of service condition.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. An assertion failure was present in the usb_ep_get() function in hw/net/core.c     when trying to get the USB endpoint from a USB device. This flaw may allow a malicious unprivileged guest     user to crash the QEMU process on the host and cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2024-8354)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:4304-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-7409: Fixed denial of service via improper synchronization in QEMU NBD Server during socket     closure (bsc#1229007)
    - CVE-2024-8354: Fixed assertion failure in usb_ep_get() in usb (bsc#1230834)
    - CVE-2024-8612: Fixed information leak in virtio devices (bsc#1230915)

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

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