Debian 9914 Published by

A qemu security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 Extended LTS to address several vulnerabilities that can be used to trigger a denial-of-service (DoS), information leak, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in QEMU, a fast processor emulator (notably used in KVM and Xen HVM virtualization). An attacker could trigger a denial-of-service (DoS), information leak, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

CVE-2020-15469

A MemoryRegionOps object may lack read/write callback methods, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2020-15859

QEMU has a use-after-free in hw/net/e1000e_core.c because a guest OS user can trigger an e1000e packet with the data’s address set to the e1000e’s MMIO address.

CVE-2020-25084

QEMU has a use-after-free in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c because the usb_packet_map return value is not checked.

CVE-2020-28916

hw/net/e1000e_core.c has an infinite loop via an RX descriptor with a NULL buffer address.

CVE-2020-29130

slirp.c has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of header data even if that exceeds the total packet length.

CVE-2020-29443

ide_atapi_cmd_reply_end in hw/ide/atapi.c allows out-of-bounds read access because a buffer index is not validated.

CVE-2021-20181

9pfs: ZDI-CAN-10904: QEMU Plan 9 file system TOCTOU privilege escalation vulnerability.

CVE-2021-20221

aarch64: GIC: out-of-bound heap buffer access via an interrupt ID field.

For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.
