"The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the SUSE-SU-2021:14772-1 advisory.

  - iscsi_aio_ioctl_cb in block/iscsi.c in QEMU 4.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read that may disclose
    unrelated information from process memory to an attacker. (CVE-2020-11947)

  - In QEMU 4.2.0, a MemoryRegionOps object may lack read/write callback methods, leading to a NULL pointer
    dereference. (CVE-2020-15469)

  - hw/net/xgmac.c in the XGMAC Ethernet controller in QEMU before 07-20-2020 has a buffer overflow. This
    occurs during packet transmission and affects the highbank and midway emulated machines. A guest user or
    process could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service or
    potential privileged code execution. This was fixed in commit 5519724a13664b43e225ca05351c60b4468e4555.
    (CVE-2020-15863)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller emulator of
    QEMU up to and including qemu 4.2.0on aarch64 platform. The issue occurs because while writing an
    interrupt ID to the controller memory area, it is not masked to be 4 bits wide. It may lead to the said
    issue while updating controller state fields and their subsequent processing. A privileged guest user may
    use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-20221)

  - A potential stack overflow via infinite loop issue was found in various NIC emulators of QEMU in versions
    up to and including 5.2.0. The issue occurs in loopback mode of a NIC wherein reentrant DMA checks get
    bypassed. A guest user/process may use this flaw to consume CPU cycles or crash the QEMU process on the
    host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-3416)

  - An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw
    exists in the bootp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp packet that is smaller than
    the size of the 'bootp_t' structure. A malicious guest could use this flaw to leak 10 bytes of
    uninitialized heap memory from the host. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data
    confidentiality. This flaw affects libslirp versions prior to 4.6.0. (CVE-2021-3592)

  - An invalid pointer initialization issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU. The flaw
    exists in the udp_input() function and could occur while processing a udp packet that is smaller than the
    size of the 'udphdr' structure. This issue may lead to out-of-bounds read access or indirect host memory
    disclosure to the guest. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. This flaw
    affects libslirp versions prior to 4.6.0. (CVE-2021-3594)
