The version of QEMU installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:
A DMA reentrancy issue leading to a use-after-free error was found in the e1000e NIC emulation code in QEMU. This issue could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3019)
A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare’s paravirtual RDMA device. This flaw allows a crafted guest driver to allocate and initialize a huge number of page tables to be used as a ring of descriptors for CQ and async events, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds read and crash of QEMU. (CVE-2023-1544)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
