Descriptions

A flaw was found in QEMU. An assertion failure was present in the usb_ep_get() function in hw/net/core.c when trying to get the USB endpoint from a USB device. This flaw may allow a malicious unprivileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host and cause a denial of service condition.

Se encontró una falla en QEMU. Se produjo un error de aserción en la función usb_ep_get() en hw/net/core.c al intentar obtener el endpoint USB de un dispositivo USB. Esta falla puede permitir que un usuario invitado malintencionado y sin privilegios bloquee el proceso QEMU en el host y provoque una condición de denegación de servicio.

It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain virtio devices. A privileged guest attacker could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled SDHCI device emulation. A guest attacker could possibly use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
