Description Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-26 21:52:04 UTC
Another vulnerability has been found, see $URL for more details and patches.

It seems unclear to me if 0.9.x is also affected. However, we still have bug #252266 open which affects 0.9.x.
Apparently 0.10.x and 0.11.x are the way to go these days. Do we want to fix 0.9.x and figure out whether this issue here also affects 0.9.x (and if yes, backport the relatively long patch), or should be apply the existing backported patch for 0.10.6 and stabilise that (or even 0.11.x)?

Luca, please advise.

CVE-2009-3616 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3616):
  Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in vnc.c in the VNC server in
  QEMU 0.10.6 and earlier might allow guest OS users to execute
  arbitrary code on the host OS by establishing a connection from a VNC
  client and then (1) disconnecting during data transfer, (2) sending a
  message using incorrect integer data types, or (3) using the Fuzzy
  Screen Mode protocol, related to double free vulnerabilities.

Four year old bugs aren't worth the time. Byebye.
