Descriptions
The xhci_kick_epctx function in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) via vectors related to control transfer descriptor sequence.
La función xhci_kick_epctx en hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c en QEMU (también conocido como Quick Emulator) permite a usuarios locales privilegiados del SO invitado provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito y caída del proceso QEMU) a través de vectores relacionados con la secuencia del descriptor de transferencia de control.
KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: qemu-kvm-rhev. Security Fix: A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the Quick Emulator built with the Network Block Device client support. The flaw could occur while processing server's response to a 'NBD_OPT_LIST' request. A malicious NBD server could use this issue to crash a remote NBD client resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on client host with privileges of the QEMU process.
