Descriptions

The virgl_cmd_get_capset function in hw/display/virtio-gpu-3d.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with Virtio GPU Device emulator support allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and process crash) via a VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET command with a maximum capabilities size with a value of 0.

La función virgl_cmd_get_capset en hw/display/virtio-gpu-3d.c en QEMU (también conocido como Quick Emulator) construido con el apoyo del emulador Virtio GPU Device permite a usuarios locales del SO invitado provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites y caída del proceso) a través de un comando VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET con un tamaño de capacidades con un valor de 0.

Zhenhao Hong discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Virtio GPU device. An attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the JAZZ RC4030 device. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Jann Horn discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled VirtFS directory sharing. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to access files on the host file system outside of the shared directory and possibly escalate their privileges. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. Various other issues were also addressed.
