Summary

QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is vulnerable to an information leakage issue. It could occur while processing 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET_INFO' command. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak contents of the host memory bytes.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

"qemu was updated to fix several issues. These security issues were
fixed :

  - CVE-2016-9102: Memory leak in the v9fs_xattrcreate
    function in hw/9pfs/9p.c in allowed local guest OS
    administrators to cause a denial of service (memory
    consumption and QEMU process crash) via a large number
    of Txattrcreate messages with the same fid number
    (bsc#1014256).

  - CVE-2016-9103: The v9fs_xattrcreate function in
    hw/9pfs/9p.c in allowed local guest OS administrators to
    obtain sensitive host heap memory information by reading
    xattribute values writing to them (bsc#1007454).

  - CVE-2016-9381: Improper processing of shared rings
    allowing guest administrators take over the qemu
    process, elevating their privilege to that of the qemu
    process (bsc#1009109)

  - CVE-2016-9776: The ColdFire Fast Ethernet Controller
    emulator support was vulnerable to an infinite loop
    issue while receiving packets in 'mcf_fec_receive'. A
    privileged user/process inside guest could have used
    this issue to crash the Qemu process on the host leading
    to DoS (bsc#1013285).

  - CVE-2016-9845: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support as
    vulnerable to an information leakage issue while
    processing the 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET_INFO' command.
    A guest user/process could have used this flaw to leak
    contents of the host memory (bsc#1013767).

  - CVE-2016-9846: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support
    was vulnerable to a memory leakage issue while updating
    the cursor data in update_cursor_data_virgl. A guest
    user/process could have used this flaw to leak host
    memory bytes, resulting in DoS for the host
    (bsc#1013764).

  - CVE-2016-9907: The USB redirector usb-guest support was
    vulnerable to a memory leakage flaw when destroying the
    USB redirector in 'usbredir_handle_destroy'. A guest
    user/process could have used this issue to leak host
    memory, resulting in DoS for a host (bsc#1014109).

  - CVE-2016-9908: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support
    was vulnerable to an information leakage issue while
    processing the 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET' command. A
    guest user/process could have used this flaw to leak
    contents of the host memory (bsc#1014514).

  - CVE-2016-9911: The USB EHCI Emulation support was
    vulnerable to a memory leakage issue while processing
    packet data in 'ehci_init_transfer'. A guest
    user/process could have used this issue to leak host
    memory, resulting in DoS for the host (bsc#1014111).

  - CVE-2016-9912: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support
    was vulnerable to a memory leakage issue while
    destroying gpu resource object in
    'virtio_gpu_resource_destroy'. A guest user/process
    could have used this flaw to leak host memory bytes,
    resulting in DoS for the host (bsc#1014112).

  - CVE-2016-9913: VirtFS was vulnerable to memory leakage
    issue via its '9p-handle' or '9p-proxy' backend drivers.
    A privileged user inside guest could have used this flaw
    to leak host memory, thus affecting other services on
    the host and/or potentially crash the Qemu process on
    the host (bsc#1014110).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for
