high Nessus Plugin ID 54640

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing a security update.

Description

The following bugs have been fixed :

- By causing a hot-unplug of the pci-isa bridge from within guests the qemu process could access already freed memory. A privileged user inside the guest could exploit that to crash the guest instance or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. (CVE-2011-1751)

- The virtio-blk driver did not properly validate read and write request. A privileged user inside the guest could exploit that to cause a heap corruption and crash the guest instance or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. (CVE-2011-1750)

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 4574.
