"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778125769 advisory.
- 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)
- QEMU through 8.0.0 could trigger a division by zero in scsi_disk_reset in hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c because
scsi_disk_emulate_mode_select does not prevent s->qdev.blocksize from being 256. This stops QEMU and the
guest immediately. (CVE-2023-42467)
- An issue was discovered in QEMU 7.1.0 through 8.2.1. register_vfs in hw/pci/pcie_sriov.c mishandles the
situation where a guest writes NumVFs greater than TotalVFs, leading to a buffer overflow in VF
implementations. (CVE-2024-26327)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
