Descriptions

slirp.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of header data even if that exceeds the total packet length.

El archivo slirp.c en libslirp versiones hasta 4.3.1, presenta una sobrescritura del búfer porque intenta leer una determinada cantidad de datos del encabezado inclusive si excede la longitud total del paquete

An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the SLiRP user networking implementation of QEMU. It could occur while processing ARP/NCSI packets, if the packet length was shorter than required to accommodate respective protocol headers and payload. A privileged guest user may use this flaw to potentially leak host information bytes.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine offers a full virtualization solution for Linux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packages which provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM. The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, double free, information leakage, and out of bounds access vulnerabilities.
