The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201804-08 (QEMU: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker could execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of Service       condition, or obtain sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the versions of the qemu-kvm packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - qemu-kvm is an open source virtualizer that provides     hardware emulation for the KVM hypervisor. qemu-kvm     acts as a virtual machine monitor together with the KVM     kernel modules, and emulates the hardware for a full     system such as a PC and its assocated peripherals. As     qemu-kvm requires no host kernel patches to run, it is     safe and easy to use.Security Fix(es):Memory leak in     the v9fs_list_xattr function in hw/9pfs/9p-xattr.c in     QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS     privileged users to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) via vectors involving the orig_value     variable.(CVE-2017-8086)The dhcp_decode function in     slirp/bootp.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local     guest OS users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) via a     crafted DHCP options string.(CVE-2017-11434)** DISPUTED
    ** QEMU 3.0.0 has an Integer Overflow because the     qga/commands*.c files do not check the length of the     argument list or the number of environment variables.
    NOTE: This has been disputed as not     exploitable.(CVE-2019-12247)** DISPUTED ** An issue was     discovered in ide_dma_cb() in hw/ide/core.c in QEMU     2.4.0 through 4.2.0. The guest system can crash the     QEMU process in the host system via a special     SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND. It hits an assertion that     implies that the size of successful DMA transfers there     must be a multiple of 512 (the size of a sector). NOTE:
    a member of the QEMU security team disputes the     significance of this issue because a 'privileged guest     user has many ways to cause similar DoS effect, without     triggering this assert.'(CVE-2019-20175)QEMU (aka Quick     Emulator), when built with the IDE disk and CD/DVD-ROM     Emulator support, allows local guest OS privileged     users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and QEMU process crash) by flushing an     empty CDROM device drive. (CVE-2017-12809)The Virtio     Vring implementation in QEMU allows local OS guest     users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero     error and QEMU process crash) by unsetting vring     alignment while updating Virtio rings.
    (CVE-2017-17381)The rc4030_write function in     hw/dma/rc4030.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows     local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash)     via a large interval timer reload value.
    (CVE-2016-8667)Quick Emulator (aka QEMU), when built     with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support, allows     local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds access and QEMU process crash)     by leveraging incorrect region calculation when     updating VGA display. (CVE-2018-7858)QEMU, when built     with the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) back-end     support, allows local guest OS users to cause a denial     of service (process crash) via an entropy request,     which triggers arbitrary stack based allocation and     memory corruption.(CVE-2016-2858)

This update for qemu fixes the following issues: This update has the next round of Spectre v2 related patches, which now integrate with corresponding changes in libvirt. (CVE-2017-5715 bsc#1068032) The January 2018 release of qemu initially addressed the Spectre v2 vulnerability for KVM guests by exposing the spec-ctrl feature for all x86 vcpu types, which was the quick and dirty approach, but not the proper solution. We replaced our initial patch by the patches from upstream. This update defines spec_ctrl and ibpb cpu feature flags as well as new cpu models which are clones of existing models with either
-IBRS or -IBPB added to the end of the model name. These new vcpu models explicitly include the new feature(s), whereas the feature flags can be added to the cpu parameter as with other features. In short, for continued Spectre v2 protection, ensure that either the appropriate cpu feature flag is added to the QEMU command-line, or one of the new cpu models is used. Although migration from older versions is supported, the new cpu features won't be properly exposed to the guest until it is restarted with the cpu features explicitly added. A reboot is insufficient. A warning patch is added which attempts to detect a migration from a qemu version which had the quick and dirty fix (it only detects certain cases, but hopefully is helpful.) For additional information on Spectre v2 as it relates to QEMU, see:
https://www.qemu.org/2018/02/14/qemu-2-11-1-and-spectre-update/ A patch is added to continue to detect Spectre v2 mitigation features (as shown by cpuid), and if found provide that feature to guests, even if running on older KVM (kernel) versions which do not yet expose that feature to QEMU. (bsc#1082276) These two patches will be removed when we can reasonably assume everyone is running with the appropriate updates. Spectre fixes for IBM Z Series were included by providing more hw features to guests (bsc#1076813) Also security fixes for the following CVE issues are included :

  - CVE-2017-17381: The Virtio Vring implementation in QEMU     allowed local OS guest users to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and QEMU process crash) by     unsetting vring alignment while updating Virtio rings.
    (bsc#1071228)

  - CVE-2017-16845: The PS2 driver in Qemu did not validate     'rptr' and 'count' values during guest migration,     leading to out-of-bounds access. (bsc#1068613)

  - CVE-2017-15119: The Network Block Device (NBD) server in     Quick Emulator (QEMU), was vulnerable to a denial of     service issue. It could occur if a client sent large     option requests, making the server waste CPU time on     reading up to 4GB per request. A client could use this     flaw to keep the NBD server from serving other requests,     resulting in DoS. (bsc#1070144)

  - CVE-2017-18043: Integer overflow in the macro ROUND_UP     (n, d) in Quick Emulator (Qemu) allowed a user to cause     a denial of service (Qemu process crash). (bsc#1076775)

  - CVE-2018-5683: The VGA driver in Qemu allowed local OS     guest privileged users to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) by     leveraging improper memory address validation.
    (bsc#1076114)

  - CVE-2018-7550: The multiboot functionality in Quick     Emulator (aka QEMU) allowed local guest OS users to     execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host via an     out-of-bounds read or write memory access. (bsc#1083291)

  - CVE-2017-15124: VNC server implementation in Quick     Emulator (QEMU) was found to be vulnerable to an     unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not     throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If     the client did not consume these updates, VNC server     allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A     malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause     DoS to the server host. (bsc#1073489) Additional bugs     fixed :

  - Fix pcihp for 1.6 and older machine types (bsc#1074572)

  - Fix packaging dependencies (coreutils) for qemu-ksm     package (bsc#1040202)

  - Eliminate bogus use of CPUID_7_0_EDX_PRED_CMD which     we've carried since the initial Spectre v2 patch was     added. EDX bit 27 of CPUID Leaf 07H, Sub-leaf 0 provides     status on STIBP, and not the PRED_CMD MSR. Exposing the     STIBP CPUID feature bit to the guest is wrong in     general, since the VM doesn't directly control the     scheduling of physical hyperthreads. This is left     strictly to the L0 hypervisor.

  - Spectre fixes for IBM Z series by providing more hw     features to guests (bsc#1076814)

  - Pre-add group kvm for qemu-tools (bsc#1040202)

  - the qemu-tools package also needs a prerequire of group     management tools, from the shadow package. (bsc#1085598)
