CVE-2022-4172

Se encontraron problemas de desbordamiento de enteros y desbordamiento de búfer en el dispositivo ACPI Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) de QEMU en las funciones read_erst_record() y write_erst_record(). Ambos problemas pueden permitir que el huésped sobrecargue el búfer del host asignado para el dispositivo de memoria ERST. Un invitado malintencionado podría utilizar estos fallos para bloquear el proceso QEMU en el host.

An integer overflow and buffer overflow issues were found in the ACPI Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) device of QEMU in the read_erst_record() and write_erst_record() functions. Both issues may allow the guest to overrun the host buffer allocated for the ERST memory device. A malicious guest could use these flaws to crash the QEMU process on the host. Arbitrary code execution was deemed unlikely.

It was discovered that QEMU did not properly manage the guest drivers when shared buffers are not allocated. A malicious guest driver could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. It was discovered that QEMU did not properly check the size of the structure pointed to by the guest physical address pqxl. A malicious guest attacker could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10.
