According to the versions of the qemu package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator     which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic     translation. QEMU has two operating modes: * Full     system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full     system (for example a PC), including a processor and     various peripherials. It can be used to launch     different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or     to debug system code. * User mode emulation. In this     mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one     CPU on another CPU. As QEMU requires no host kernel     patches to run, it is safe and easy to use.Security     Fix(es):In QEMU through 5.0.0, an assertion failure can     occur in the network packet processing. This issue     affects the e1000e and vmxnet3 network devices. A     malicious guest user/process could use this flaw to     abort the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a     denial of service condition in     net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment in hw/ net/     net_tx_pkt.c.(CVE-2020-16092)hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU     4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds     access via a crafted address in an msi-x mmio     operation.(CVE-2020-13754)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3721-1 advisory.

  - hw/pci/msix.c in QEMU 4.2.0 allows guest OS users to trigger an out-of-bounds access via a crafted address     in an msi-x mmio operation. (CVE-2020-13754)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the ATI VGA device emulation of QEMU. This flaw occurs in     the ati_2d_blt() routine while handling MMIO write operations when the guest provides invalid values for     the destination display parameters. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the     host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3638)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the USB EHCI controller emulation of QEMU. EHCI does not verify if the     Buffer Pointer overlaps with its MMIO region when it transfers the USB packets. Crafted content may be     written to the controller's registers and trigger undesirable actions (such as reset) while the device is     still transferring packets. This can ultimately lead to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition, or     potentially execute arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host. This flaw affects     QEMU versions before 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3750)

  - A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the NVM Express Controller (NVME) emulation in QEMU. This CVE is     similar to CVE-2021-3750 and, just like it, when the reentrancy write triggers the reset function     nvme_ctrl_reset(), data structs will be freed leading to a use-after-free issue. A malicious guest could     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition or,     potentially, executing arbitrary code within the context of the QEMU process on the host. (CVE-2021-3929)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a     crafted guest driver to execute HW commands when shared buffers are not yet allocated, potentially leading     to a use-after-free condition. (CVE-2022-1050)

  - A flaw was found in the vhost-vsock device of QEMU. In case of error, an invalid element was not detached     from the virtqueue before freeing its memory, leading to memory leakage and other unexpected results.
    Affected QEMU versions <= 6.2.0. (CVE-2022-26354)

  - 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 potential stack overflow via infinite loop issue was found in various NIC emulators of QEMU in versions     up to and including 5.2.0. The issue occurs in loopback mode of a NIC wherein reentrant DMA checks get     bypassed. A guest user/process may use this flaw to consume CPU cycles or crash the QEMU process on the     host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-3416) (CVE-2023-2861)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server. When a client connects to the VNC server, QEMU checks     whether the current number of connections crosses a certain threshold and if so, cleans up the previous     connection. If the previous connection happens to be in the handshake phase and fails, QEMU cleans up the     connection again, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference issue. This could allow a remote unauthenticated     client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3354)
