CVE-2020-25741 QEMU: fdc: null pointer dereference during r/w data transfer

A null pointer dereference issue was found in the Floppy disk emulator of QEMU. It could occur while transferring data via fdctrl_read_data(), fdctrl_write_data() routines, if current drive has a null block pointer. A guest may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.

2. CVE-2020-25742 QEMU: scsi: lsi: null pointer dereference during memory move

A null pointer dereference issue was found in the LSI53C895A SCSI Host Bus Adapter emulator of QEMU. It could occur while processing 'Memory Move' instructions to move data between dma memory and i/o address space via lsi_memcpy(). A guest user/process may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS scenario.

3. CVE-2020-25743 QEMU: ide: null pointer dereference while cancelling i/o operation

A null pointer dereference issue was found in the IDE disk emulator of QEMU. It could occur while cancelling an i/o operation via ide_cancel_dma_sync() routine, if a block drive pointer is null. A guest may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.

We will wait when correct fix lands upstream.

thank you for answer, I changed the whiteboard

QEMU 5.2 is out, does it have the fixes?

QEMU is one of the worst upstreams I've seen for tracking patches. That said, I don't see the subjects of those emails in any QEMU master commits.
Comment 5 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2021-04-04 19:28:06 UTC
These patches have not been applied upstream.
Comment 6 NATTkA bot gentoo-dev 2021-07-29 17:25:52 UTC
Package list is empty or all packages have requested keywords.
Comment 7 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-23 23:05:29 UTC
Still seems unfixed
