F5 Networks BIG-IP : QEMU vulnerability (SOL51841514)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 87433

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

hw/ide/core.c in QEMU does not properly restrict the commands accepted by an ATAPI device, which allows guest users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via certain IDE commands, as demonstrated by a WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX command to an empty drive, which triggers a divide-by-zero error and instance crash.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution SOL51841514.
