Descriptions

The VGA module in QEMU improperly performs bounds checking on banked access to video memory, which allows local guest OS administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue.

El módulo VGA en QEMU lleva a cabo incorrectamente comprobaciones de límites sobre acceso almacenado a la memoria de vídeo, lo que permite a administradores locales de SO invitado ejecutar código arbitrario sobre el anfitrión cambiando los modos de acceso después de establecer el banco de registros, también conocido como el problema "Dark Portal".

An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) support performed read/write operations using I/O port methods. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU process.
