CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: qemu (CVE-2022-4144)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205059

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of qemu 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-2022-4144 advisory.

 - 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 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.
