The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2023-12328 advisory.

  - 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 this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

    - CVE-2023-1544 is not applicable to Oracle QEMU 6.1.1 (Karl Heubaum) [Orabug: 35305727] {CVE-2023-1544}

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

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)

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1103-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - A stack based buffer overflow was found in the virtio-net device of QEMU. This issue occurs when flushing     TX in the virtio_net_flush_tx function if guest features VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT, VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 and     VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF are enabled. This could allow a malicious user to overwrite local variables     allocated on the stack. Specifically, the `out_sg` variable could be used to read a part of process memory     and send it to the wire, causing an information leak. (CVE-2023-6693)

  - QEMU before 8.2.0 has an integer underflow, and resultant buffer overflow, via a TI command when an     expected non-DMA transfer length is less than the length of the available FIFO data. This occurs in     esp_do_nodma in hw/scsi/esp.c because of an underflow of async_len. (CVE-2024-24474)

  - An issue was discovered in QEMU 7.1.0 through 8.2.1. register_vfs in hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c mishandles the     situation where a guest writes NumVFs greater than TotalVFs, leading to a buffer overflow in VF     implementations. (CVE-2024-26327)

  - An issue was discovered in QEMU 7.1.0 through 8.2.1. register_vfs in hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c does not set     NumVFs to PCI_SRIOV_TOTAL_VF, and thus interaction with hw/nvme/ctrl.c is mishandled. (CVE-2024-26328)
