CVE-2011-2512

Status Candidate

Overview

The virtio_queue_notify in qemu-kvm 0.14.0 and earlier does not properly validate the virtqueue number, which allows guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative number in the Queue Notify field of the Virtio Header, which bypasses a signed comparison.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1165-1 - Nelson Elhage discovered that QEMU did not properly validate certain virtqueue requests from the guest. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service of the guest or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Stefan Hajnoczi discovered that QEMU did not properly perform integer comparisons when performing virtqueue input validation. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service of the guest or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Various other issues were also addressed.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-0919-01
Posted Jul 5, 2011
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-0919-01 - KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. qemu-kvm is the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM. It was found that the virtio subsystem in qemu-kvm did not properly validate virtqueue in and out requests from the guest. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to trigger a buffer overflow, allowing them to crash the guest or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the host. It was found that the virtio_queue_notify() function in qemu-kvm did not perform sufficient input validation on the value later used as an index into the array of virtqueues. An unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the guest or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the host. Various other issues were also addressed.
