Descriptions
The VGA emulator in QEMU allows local guest users to read host memory by setting the display to a high resolution.
El emulador VGA en QEMU permite a usuarios locales invitados leer la memoria del anfitrión mediante la configuración de la pantalla a una resolución alta.
An information leak flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulator accessed frame buffer memory for high resolution displays. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to leak memory contents of the host to the guest by setting the display to use a high resolution in the guest.
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.
