Descriptions
Qemu before 2.0 block driver for Hyper-V VHDX Images is vulnerable to infinite loops and other potential issues when calculating BAT entries, due to missing bounds checks for block_size and logical_sector_size variables. These are used to derive other fields like 'sectors_per_block' etc. A user able to alter the Qemu disk image could ise this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS.
El controlador de bloques de Qemu versiones anteriores a 2.0 para imágenes VHDX de Hyper-V es vulnerable a bucles infinitos y otros problemas potenciales cuando son calculadas las entradas BAT, debido a que faltan comprobaciones de límites para las variables block_size y logical_sector_size. Éstas son usadas para derivar otros campos como "sectors_per_block", etc. Un usuario capaz de alterar la imagen de disco de Qemu podría aprovechar este fallo para bloquear la instancia de Qemu, resultando en una DoS
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.
