Synopsis
The remote host has virtualization software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of QEMU installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:- A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)
- A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest driver to allocate and initialize a huge number of page tables to be used as a ring of descriptors for CQ and async events, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds read and crash of QEMU. (CVE-2023-1544)
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 7.2.4, 8.0.3 or later.See Also
