Descriptions

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the virtio-blk driver (hw/virtio-blk.c) in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 allow local guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) and possibly gain privileges via a (1) write request to the virtio_blk_handle_write function or (2) read request to the virtio_blk_handle_read function that is not properly aligned.

Múltiples desbordamientos de bufer basado en memoria dinámica en el controlador virtio-BLK (hw/virtio-blk.c) en qemu-kvm v0.14.0 permiten causar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente obtener privilegios a los usuarios locales invitados a través de (1) una petición de escritura a la función virtio_blk_handle_write o (2) una solicitud de lectura a la función virtio_blk_handle_read que no está correctamente alineada.
