CVE-2017-2620

Quick emulator (QEMU) en versiones anteriores a la 2.8 construido con el soporte del emulador Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator es vulnerable a un problema de acceso fuera de límites. El problema puede ocurrir al copiar datos VGA en cirrus_bitblt_cputovideo. Un usuario privilegiado dentro de guest podría usar esta vulnerabilidad para bloquear el proceso de QEMU o potencialmente ejecutar código arbitrario en el host con privilegios del proceso de QEMU.

Quick emulator (QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. The issue could occur while copying VGA data in cirrus_bitblt_cputovideo. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process OR potentially execute arbitrary code on host with privileges of the QEMU process.

KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. Security Fix: Quick emulator built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur while copying VGA data via bitblt copy in backward mode. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of QEMU process on the host.
