This update for kvm fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed:

  • CVE-2016-9602: The VirtFS host directory sharing via Plan 9 File
    System(9pfs) support was vulnerable to an improper link following issue
    which allowed a privileged user inside guest to access host file system
    beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on
    a host (bsc#1020427)
  • CVE-2016-9603: A privileged user within the guest VM could have caused a
    heap overflow in the device model process, potentially escalating their
    privileges to that of the device model process (bsc#1028656)
  • CVE-2017-10664: qemu-nbd did not ignore SIGPIPE, which allowed remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by disconnecting
    during a server-to-client reply attempt (bsc#1046636)
  • CVE-2017-10806: Stack-based buffer overflow allowed local guest OS users
    to cause a denial of service (QEMU process crash) via vectors related to
    logging debug messages (bsc#1047674).
  • CVE-2017-11334: The address_space_write_continue function allowed local
    guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    access and guest instance crash) by leveraging use of qemu_map_ram_ptr
    to access guest ram block area (bsc#1048902).
  • CVE-2017-11434: The dhcp_decode function in slirp/bootp.c allowed local
    guest OS users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a
    crafted DHCP options string (bsc#1049381)
  • CVE-2017-13672: The VGA display emulator support allowed local guest OS
    privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and
    QEMU process crash) via vectors involving display update (bsc#1056334).
  • CVE-2017-14167: Integer overflow in the load_multiboot function allowed
    local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host via crafted
    multiboot header address values, which trigger an out-of-bounds write
    (bsc#1057585).
  • CVE-2017-15038: Race condition in the v9fs_xattrwalk function local
    guest OS users to obtain sensitive information from host heap memory via
    vectors related to reading extended attributes (bsc#1062069).
  • CVE-2017-15289: The mode4and5 write functions allowed 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
    (bsc#1063122).
  • CVE-2017-5579: The 16550A UART serial device emulation support was
    vulnerable to a memory leakage issue allowing a privileged user to cause
    a DoS and/or potentially crash the Qemu process on the host (bsc#1021741)
  • CVE-2017-5973: A infinite loop while doing control transfer in
    xhci_kick_epctx allowed privileged user inside the guest to crash the
    host process resulting in DoS (bsc#1025109)
  • CVE-2017-6505: The ohci_service_ed_list function allowed local guest OS
    users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors involving
    the number of link endpoint list descriptors (bsc#1028184)
  • CVE-2017-7471: The VirtFS host directory sharing via Plan 9 File
    System(9pfs) support was vulnerable to an improper access control issue
    which allowed a privileged user inside guest to access host file system
    beyond the shared folder and potentially escalating their privileges on
    a host (bsc#1034866)
  • CVE-2017-7493: The VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File
    System(9pfs) support, was vulnerable to an improper access control
    issue. It could occur while accessing virtfs metadata files in
    mapped-file security mode. A guest user could have used this flaw to
    escalate their privileges inside guest (bsc#1039495)
  • CVE-2017-7718: hw/display/cirrus_vga_rop.h allowed local guest OS
    privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and
    QEMU process crash) via vectors related to copying VGA data via the
    cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_ and cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_ functions
    (bsc#1034908)
  • CVE-2017-7980: An out-of-bounds r/w access issues in the Cirrus CLGD
    54xx VGA Emulator support allowed privileged user inside guest to use
    this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS or potentially
    execute arbitrary code on a host with privileges of Qemu process on the
    host (bsc#1035406)
  • CVE-2017-8086: A memory leak in the v9fs_list_xattr function in
    hw/9pfs/9p-xattr.c allowed local guest OS privileged users to cause a
    denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving the
    orig_value variable (bsc#1035950)
  • CVE-2017-8309: Memory leak in the audio/audio.c allowed remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly starting
    and stopping audio capture (bsc#1037242)
  • CVE-2017-9330: USB OHCI Emulation in qemu allowed local guest OS users
    to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by leveraging an incorrect
    return value (bsc#1042159)
  • CVE-2017-9373: The IDE AHCI Emulation support was vulnerable to a host
    memory leakage issue, which allowed a privileged user inside guest to
    leak host memory resulting in DoS (bsc#1042801)
  • CVE-2017-9375: The USB xHCI controller emulator support was vulnerable
    to an infinite recursive call loop issue, which allowed a privileged
    user inside guest to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS
    (bsc#1042800)
  • CVE-2017-9503: The MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter emulation
    support was vulnerable to a null pointer dereference issue which allowed
    a privileged user inside guest to crash the Qemu process on the host
    resulting in DoS (bsc#1043296)
  • Privilege escalation in TCG mode (bsc#1030624)
