CVE-2015-8817

QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built to use 'address_space_translate' to map an address to a MemoryRegionSection is vulnerable to an OOB r/w access issue. It could occur while doing pci_dma_read/write calls. Affects QEMU versions >= 1.6.0 and <= 2.3.1. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the guest instance resulting in DoS.

Updated qemu packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An out-of-bounds flaw was found in the QEMU emulator built using 'address_space_translate' to map an address to a MemoryRegionSection. The flaw could occur while doing pci_dma_read/write calls, resulting in an out-of-bounds read-write access error. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the guest instance (denial of service) (CVE-2015-8817, CVE-2015-8818).

A NULL-pointer dereference flaw was found in the QEMU emulator built with TPR optimization for 32-bit Windows guests support. The flaw occurs when doing I/O-port write operations from the HMP interface. The 'current_cpu' value remains null because it is not called from the cpu_exec() loop, and dereferencing it results in the flaw. An attacker with access to the HMP interface could use this flaw to crash the QEMU instance (denial of service) (CVE-2016-1922).

Wei Xiao and Qinghao Tang discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled access in the VGA module. 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 (CVE-2016-3710).
