Descriptions

Parallels Desktop virtio-gpu Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Parallels Desktop. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target in a guest system must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the virtio-gpu virtual device. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the hypervisor. Was ZDI-CAN-21260.

Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código de escritura fuera de los límites virtio-gpu de Parallels Desktop. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de Parallels Desktop. Se requiere la interacción del usuario para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo en un sistema invitado debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. La falla específica existe dentro del dispositivo virtual virtio-gpu. El problema se debe a la falta de una validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede provocar una escritura más allá del final de un búfer asignado. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del hipervisor. Era ZDI-CAN-21260.
