"The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-2446:08 advisory.
* Quick Emulator (QEMU), compiled with the PC System Emulator with multiboot feature support, is
vulnerable to an OOB r/w memory access issue. The issue could occur due to an integer overflow while
loading a kernel image during a guest boot. A user or process could use this flaw to potentially achieve
arbitrary code execution on a host. (CVE-2017-14167)
* Quick emulator (QEMU), compiled with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support, is vulnerable to an
OOB write access issue. The issue could occur while writing to VGA memory via mode4and5 write functions. A
privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in Denial of Serivce
(DoS). (CVE-2017-15289)
Asianux would like to thank Thomas Garnier (Google.com) for reporting CVE-2017-14167 and Guoxiang Niu
(Huawei.com) for reporting CVE-2017-15289.
CVE-2017-14167
Integer overflow in the load_multiboot function in hw/i386/multiboot.c
in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to execute
arbitrary code on the host via crafted multiboot header address
values, which trigger an out-of-bounds write.
CVE-2017-15289
The mode4and5 write functions in hw/display/cirrus_vga.c in Qemu allow
local OS guest privileged users to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds write access and Qemu process crash) via vectors
related to dst calculation.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
