QEMU < 8.0.0 Multiple Vulnerabilites (CVE-2023-0664)

high Nessus Plugin ID 177307

Synopsis

The remote host has virtualization software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

- A flaw was found in the QEMU Guest Agent service for Windows. A local unprivileged user may be able to manipulate the QEMU Guest Agent's Windows installer via repair custom actions to elevate their privileges on the system.

- A vulnerability in the lsi53c895a device affects the latest version of qemu. A DMA-MMIO reentrancy problem may lead to memory corruption bugs like stack overflow or use-after-free.

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

Solution

Upgrade to QEMU 8.0.0 or later.
