Denial Of Service (DoS)

spice-server is vulnerable to denial of service. A memory allocation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in spice's smartcard interaction, which runs under the QEMU-KVM context on the host. A user connecting to a guest VM using spice could potentially use this flaw to crash t...

Arbitrary Code Execution

QEMU is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions VBE support performed read/write operations using I/O port methods. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on...

CVE-2016-8577

Memory leak in the v9fsread function in hw/9pfs/9p.c in QEMU aka Quick Emulator allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service memory consumption via vectors related to an I/O read operation...

qemu: incorrect banked access bounds checking in vga module

An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the way QEMU's VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions VBE support performed read/write operations using I/O port methods. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU...

spice: insufficient validation of surface_id parameter can cause crash

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way spice handled certain QXL commands related to the "surfaceid" parameter. A user in a guest could use this flaw to crash the host QEMU-KVM process or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the host QEMU-KVM process...

qemu: cirrus: insufficient blit region checks

It was found that the Cirrus blit region checks were insufficient. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write outside of VRAM-allocated buffer boundaries in the host's QEMU process address space with attacker-provided data...
