CVE-2013-4540

Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Michael S. Tsirkin discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled vmxnet3 devices. A local guest could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host (CVE-2013-4544).

Multiple integer overflow, input validation, logic error, and buffer overflow flaws were discovered in various QEMU block drivers. An attacker able to modify a disk image file loaded by a guest could use these flaws to crash the guest, or corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process (CVE-2014-0143, CVE-2014-0144, CVE-2014-0145, CVE-2014-0147).

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the virtio_net_handle_mac() function of QEMU processed guest requests to update the table of MAC addresses. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process (CVE-2014-0150).

A divide-by-zero flaw was found in the seek_to_sector() function of the parallels block driver in QEMU. An attacker able to modify a disk image file loaded by a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest (CVE-2014-0142).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the QCOW2 block driver in QEMU. An attacker able to modify a disk image file loaded by a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest (CVE-2014-0146).

It was found that the block driver for Hyper-V VHDX images did not correctly calculate BAT (Block Allocation Table) entries due to a missing bounds check. An attacker able to modify a disk image file loaded by a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest (CVE-2014-0148).

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMU's IDE device driver handled the execution of SMART EXECUTE OFFLINE commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process (CVE-2014-2894).

Two integer overflow flaws were found in the QEMU block driver for QCOW version 1 disk images. A user able to alter the QEMU disk image files loaded by a guest could use either of these flaws to corrupt QEMU process memory on the host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process (CVE-2014-0222, CVE-2014-0223).

Multiple buffer overflow, input validation, and out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way the virtio, virtio-net, virtio-scsi, and usb drivers of QEMU handled state loading after migration. A user able to alter the savevm data (either on the disk or over the wire during migration) could use either of these flaws to corrupt QEMU process memory on the (destination) host, which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process (CVE-2013-4148, CVE-2013-4151, CVE-2013-4535, CVE-2013-4536, CVE-2013-4541, CVE-2013-4542, CVE-2013-6399, CVE-2014-0182, CVE-2014-3461).

An information leak flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulator accessed frame buffer memory for high resolution displays. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to leak memory contents of the host to the guest by setting the display to use a high resolution in the guest (CVE-2014-3615).

When guest sends udp packet with source port and source addr 0, uninitialized socket is picked up when looking for matching and already created udp sockets, and later passed to sosendto() where NULL pointer dereference is hit during so->slirp->vnetwork_mask.s_addr access Only guests using qemu user networking are affected (CVE-2014-3640).

These are all security issues fixed in the xen-4.7.0_12-1.3 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

These are all security issues fixed in the qemu-2.6.1-1.5 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Buffer overflow in scoop_gpio_handler_update in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large (1) prev_level, (2) gpio_level, or (3) gpio_dir value in a savevm image.

Michael S. Tsirkin, Anthony Liguori, and Michael Roth discovered multiple issues with QEMU state loading after migration. An attacker able to modify the state data could use these issues to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-4148, CVE-2013-4149, CVE-2013-4150, CVE-2013-4151, CVE-2013-4526, CVE-2013-4527, CVE-2013-4529, CVE-2013-4530, CVE-2013-4531, CVE-2013-4532, CVE-2013-4533, CVE-2013-4534, CVE-2013-4535, CVE-2013-4536, CVE-2013-4537, CVE-2013-4538, CVE-2013-4539, CVE-2013-4540, CVE-2013-4541, CVE-2013-4542, CVE-2013-6399, CVE-2014-0182, CVE-2014-3461)

Kevin Wolf, Stefan Hajnoczi, Fam Zheng, Jeff Cody, Stefan Hajnoczi, and others discovered multiple issues in the QEMU block drivers. An attacker able to modify disk images could use these issues to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0142, CVE-2014-0143, CVE-2014-0144, CVE-2014-0145, CVE-2014-0146, CVE-2014-0147, CVE-2014-0222, CVE-2014-0223)

It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled certain PCIe bus hotplug operations. A malicious guest could use this issue to crash the QEMU host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-3471)
