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

  - A flaw was found in the 9p passthrough filesystem (9pfs) implementation in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not     prohibit opening special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from     the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared folder. (CVE-2023-2861)

  - 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 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 while processing ClientCutText messages. A wrong exit     condition may lead to an infinite loop when inflating an attacker controlled zlib buffer in the     `inflate_buffer` function. This could allow a remote authenticated client who is able to send a clipboard     to the VNC server to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3255)

  - 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)

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 Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2024-2135 advisory.

  - A bug in QEMU could cause a guest I/O operation otherwise addressed to an arbitrary disk offset to be     targeted to offset 0 instead (potentially overwriting the VM's boot code). This could be used, for     example, by L2 guests with a virtual disk (vdiskL2) stored on a virtual disk of an L1 (vdiskL1) hypervisor     to read and/or write data to LBA 0 of vdiskL1, potentially gaining control of L1 at its next reboot.
    (CVE-2023-5088)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. The     qemu_clipboard_request() function can be reached before vnc_server_cut_text_caps() was called and had the     chance to initialize the clipboard peer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could allow a     malicious authenticated VNC client to crash QEMU and trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-6683)

  - QEMU through 8.0.0 could trigger a division by zero in scsi_disk_reset in hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c because     scsi_disk_emulate_mode_select does not prevent s->qdev.blocksize from being 256. This stops QEMU and the     guest immediately. (CVE-2023-42467)

  - 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 built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. A wrong exit     condition may lead to an infinite loop when inflating an attacker controlled zlib buffer in the     `inflate_buffer` function. This could allow a remote authenticated client who is able to send a clipboard     to the VNC server to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3255)

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2023-12855 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in QEMU. The async nature of hot-unplug enables a race scenario where the net device     backend is cleared before the virtio-net pci frontend has been unplugged. A malicious guest could use this     time window to trigger an assertion and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3301)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU built-in VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages. A wrong exit     condition may lead to an infinite loop when inflating an attacker controlled zlib buffer in the     `inflate_buffer` function. This could allow a remote authenticated client who is able to send a clipboard     to the VNC server to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3255)

  - A vulnerability was found in libvirt. This security flaw ouccers due to repeatedly querying an SR-IOV PCI     device's capabilities that exposes a memory leak caused by a failure to free the virPCIVirtualFunction     array within the parent struct's g_autoptr cleanup. (CVE-2023-2700)

  - 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)

  - A flaw was found in libvirt. The virStoragePoolObjListSearch function does not return a locked pool as     expected, resulting in a race condition and denial of service when attempting to lock the same object from     another thread. This issue could allow clients connecting to the read-only socket to crash the libvirt     daemon. (CVE-2023-3750)

  - 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 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.

  - An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller emulation of QEMU while computing the length of     the Transfer Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to hang the QEMU process     on the host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-14394)

  - An issue was discovered in TCG Accelerator in QEMU 4.2.0, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary     code, escalate privileges, and cause a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2020-24165)

  - A stack overflow vulnerability was found in the Intel HD Audio device (intel-hda) of QEMU. A malicious     guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service     condition. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects QEMU     versions prior to 7.0.0. (CVE-2021-3611)

  - 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 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 flaw was found in the 9p passthrough filesystem (9pfs) implementation in QEMU. The 9pfs server did not     prohibit opening special files on the host side, potentially allowing a malicious client to escape from     the exported 9p tree by creating and opening a device file in the shared folder. (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 while processing ClientCutText messages.

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)

  - QEMU through 8.0.4 accesses a NULL pointer in nvme_directive_receive in hw/nvme/ctrl.c because there is no     check for whether an endurance group is configured before checking whether Flexible Data Placement is     enabled. (CVE-2023-40360)

  - A heap out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the virtual nvme device in QEMU. The QEMU process does     not validate an offset provided by the guest before computing a host heap pointer, which is used for     copying data back to the guest. Arbitrary heap memory relative to an allocated buffer can be disclosed.
    (CVE-2023-4135)

  - QEMU through 8.0.0 could trigger a division by zero in scsi_disk_reset in hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c because     scsi_disk_emulate_mode_select does not prevent s->qdev.blocksize from being 256. This stops QEMU and the     guest immediately. (CVE-2023-42467)

  - A bug in QEMU could cause a guest I/O operation otherwise addressed to an arbitrary disk offset to be     targeted to offset 0 instead (potentially overwriting the VM's boot code). This could be used, for     example, by L2 guests with a virtual disk (vdiskL2) stored on a virtual disk of an L1 (vdiskL1) hypervisor     to read and/or write data to LBA 0 of vdiskL1, potentially gaining control of L1 at its next reboot.
