Bug 567144 – <app-emulation/qemu-2.4.1-r2: two vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-{7504,7512})

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2015-11-30 09:19:36 UTC]

From http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/11/30/2:

Qemu emulator built with the AMD PC-Net II Ethernet Controller support is 
vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow flaw. While receiving packets in the 
loopback mode, it appends CRC code to the receive buffer. If the data size 
given is same as the receive buffer size, the appended CRC code overwrites 4 
bytes beyond this 's->buffer' array.

A privileged(CAP_SYS_RAWIO) user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the 
Qemu instance resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code with 
privileges of the Qemu process on the host.

Upstream fix:

CVE-2015-7504 has been assigned to this issue by Red Hat Inc.



From http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/11/30/3:

The AMD PC-Net II emulator(hw/net/pcnet.c), while receiving packets from a 
remote host(non-loopback mode), fails to validate the received data size, thus 
resulting in a buffer overflow issue. It could potentially lead to arbitrary 
code execution on the host, with privileges of the Qemu process. It requires 
the guest NIC to have larger MTU limit.

A remote user could use this flaw to crash the guest instance resulting in DoS 
or potentially execute arbitrary code on a remote host with privileges of the 
Qemu process.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

i've added the upstream fixes to 2.4.1-r1:
http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=32c4e7044c0a00de9d1a10fc8db207c4fa34dbba

should be fine to stabilize

stabilized in another bug.

cleanup done by vapier

Arches and Maintainer(s), Thank you for your work.

Added to an existing GLSA Request.
