Debian DLA-3604-1 : qemu - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 182648

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3604 advisory.

- An issue was discovered in TCG Accelerator in QEMU 4.2.0, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, and cause a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2020-24165)

- 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. (CVE-2023-0330)

- A flaw was found in the QEMU virtual crypto device while handling data encryption/decryption requests in virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req. There is no check for the value of `src_len` and `dst_len` in virtio_crypto_sym_op_helper, potentially leading to a heap buffer overflow when the two values differ.
(CVE-2023-3180)

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

Solution

Upgrade the qemu packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1
