Descriptions
qemu_deliver_packet_iov in net/net.c in Qemu accepts packet sizes greater than INT_MAX, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
qemu_deliver_packet_iov en net/net.c en Qemu acepta tamaƱos de paquetes mayores a INT_MAX, lo que permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegaciĆ³n de servicio (DoS) o tengan otro tipo de impacto sin especificar.
A potential integer overflow issue was found in the networking back-end of QEMU. It could occur while receiving packets, because it accepted packets with large size value. Such overflow could lead to OOB buffer access issue. A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS.
Daniel Shapira and Arash Tohidi discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled NE2000 device emulation. 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 Slirp networking back-end. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
