CVE-2018-18954

The pnv_lpc_do_eccb function in hw/ppc/pnv_lpc.c in Qemu before 3.1 allows out-of-bounds write or read access to PowerNV memory.

This update for qemu fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2019-6778: Fixed a heap buffer overflow issue in the SLiRP networking implementation (bsc#1123156).
• CVE-2018-16872: Fixed a host security vulnerability related to handling symlinks in usb-mtp (bsc#1119493).
• CVE-2018-19489: Fixed a denial of service vulnerability in virtfs (bsc#1117275).
• CVE-2018-19364: Fixed a use-after-free if the virtfs interface resulting in a denial of service (bsc#1116717).
• CVE-2018-18954: Fixed a denial of service vulnerability related to PowerPC PowerNV memory operations (bsc#1114957).

Non-security issues fixed:

• Improved disk performance for qemu on xen (bsc#1100408).
• Fixed xen offline migration (bsc#1079730, bsc#1101982, bsc#1063993).
• Fixed pwrite64/pread64/write to return 0 over -1 for a zero length NULL buffer in qemu (bsc#1121600).
• Use /bin/bash to echo value into sys fs for ksm control (bsc#1112646).
• Return specification exception for unimplemented diag 308 subcodes rather than a hardware error (bsc#1123179).

Daniel Shapira and Arash Tohidi discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled NE2000 device emulation. An attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10839)

It was discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the Slirp networking back-end. A privileged attacker inside the guest could use this issue to cause QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-11806)
