Summary

Memory leak in the virgl_resource_attach_backing function in hw/display/virtio-gpu-3d.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host memory consumption) via a large number of VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_ATTACH_BACKING commands.

    descriptionThis update for qemu fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed : - CVE-2017-5898: The CCID Card device emulator support was vulnerable to an integer overflow flaw allowing a privileged user to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS (bsc#1023907). - CVE-2017-5857: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support was vulnerable to a host memory leakage issue allowing a guest user to leak host memory resulting in DoS (bsc#1023073). - CVE-2017-2620: In CIRRUS_BLTMODE_MEMSYSSRC mode the bitblit copy routine cirrus_bitblt_cputovideo failed to check the memory region, allowing for an out-of-bounds write that allows for privilege escalation (bsc#1024972) - CVE-2017-2615: An error in the bitblt copy operation could have allowed a malicious guest administrator to cause an out of bounds memory access, possibly leading to information disclosure or privilege escalation (bsc#1023004) - CVE-2017-5856: The MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter emulation support was vulnerable to a memory leakage issue allowing a privileged user to leak host memory resulting in DoS (bsc#1023053) - CVE-2016-9921: The Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support was vulnerable to a divide by zero issue while copying VGA data. A privileged user inside guest could have used this flaw to crash the process instance on the host, resulting in DoS (bsc#1014702) - CVE-2016-9922: The Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support was vulnerable to a divide by zero issue while copying VGA data. A privileged user inside guest could have used this flaw to crash the process instance on the host, resulting in DoS (bsc#1014702) - CVE-2016-10029: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support was vulnerable to an OOB read issue allowing a guest user to crash the Qemu process instance resulting in Dos (bsc#1017081). - CVE-2016-10028: The Virtio GPU Device emulator support was vulnerable to an out of bounds memory access issue allowing a guest user to crash the Qemu process instance on a host, resulting in DoS (bsc#1017084). - CVE-2016-10155: The virtual hardware watchdog
