NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-2692-1.NASL description Matt Tait discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled PIT emulation. In a non-default configuration, a malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-3214) Kevin Wolf discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled processing ATAPI commands. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. (CVE-2015-5154) Zhu Donghai discovered that QEMU incorrectly handled the SCSI driver. A malicious guest could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as the user running the QEMU process. In the default installation, when QEMU is used with libvirt, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile. This issue only affected Ubuntu 15.04. (CVE-2015-5158). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 85080 published 2015-07-29 reporter Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2015-2019 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2015-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/85080 title Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 15.04 : qemu vulnerabilities (USN-2692-1) NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2015-13402.NASL description - Rebased to version 2.3.1 - Fix crash in qemu_spice_create_display (bz #1163047) - Fix qemu-img map crash for unaligned image (bz #1229394) - CVE-2015-3209: pcnet: multi-tmd buffer overflow in the tx path (bz #1230536) - CVE-2015-3214: i8254: out-of-bounds memory access (bz #1243728) - CVE-2015-5158: scsi stack-based buffer overflow (bz #1246025) - CVE-2015-5154: ide: atapi: heap overflow during I/O buffer memory access (bz #1247141) - CVE-2015-5166: BlockBackend object use after free issue (bz #1249758) - CVE-2015-5745: buffer overflow in virtio-serial (bz #1251160) - CVE-2015-5165: rtl8139 uninitialized heap memory information leakage to guest (bz #1249755) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
