high Nessus Plugin ID 122511
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.Description
Several vulnerabilities were found in QEMU, a fast processor emulator :CVE-2018-12617
The qmp_guest_file_read function (qga/commands-posix.c) is affected by an integer overflow and subsequent memory allocation failure. This weakness might be leveraged by remote attackers to cause denial of service (application crash).
CVE-2018-16872
The usb_mtp_get_object, usb_mtp_get_partial_object and usb_mtp_object_readdir functions (hw/usb/dev-mtp.c) are affected by a symlink attack. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to perform information disclosure.
CVE-2019-6778
The tcp_emu function (slirp/tcp_subr.c) is affected by a heap buffer overflow caused by insufficient validation of available space in the sc_rcv->sb_data buffer. Remote attackers might leverage this flaw to cause denial of service, or any other unspecified impact.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u10.
We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
