EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.6 : qemu (EulerOS-SA-2023-2446)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 178860

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the qemu packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the QXL display device emulation in QEMU. The qxl_phys2virt() function does not check the size of the structure pointed to by the guest physical address, potentially reading past the end of the bar space into adjacent pages. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host causing a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-4144)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected qemu packages.
