CVE-2013-4535

La función virtqueue_map_sg en el archivo hw/virtio/virtio.c en QEMU versiones anteriores a 1.7.2, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar archivos arbitrarios por medio de una imagen savevm diseñada, relacionada con una lectura virtio-block o virtio-serial.

Sibiao Luo discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled device hot-unplugging. A local user could possibly use this flaw to cause a denial of service. Michael S. Tsirkin discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled vmxnet3 devices. A local guest could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. Multiple integer overflow, input validation, logic error, and buffer overflow flaws were discovered in various QEMU block drivers. An attacker able to modify a disk image file loaded by a guest could use these flaws to crash the guest, or corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process. Various other issues have also been addressed.
