CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: qemu / qemu-kvm (CVE-2022-3872)

high Nessus Plugin ID 172753

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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-2022-3872 advisory.

 - An off-by-one read/write issue was found in the SDHCI device of QEMU. It occurs when reading/writing the Buffer Data Port Register in sdhci_read_dataport and sdhci_write_dataport, respectively, if data_count == block_size. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-3872)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
