Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4191-1
November 14, 2019
qemu vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 19.10
– Ubuntu 19.04
– Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in QEMU.
Software Description:
– qemu: Machine emulator and virtualizer
Details:
It was discovered that the LSI SCSI adapter emulator implementation in QEMU
did not properly validate executed scripts. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-12068)
Sergej Schumilo, Cornelius Aschermann and Simon Wörner discovered that the
qxl paravirtual graphics driver implementation in QEMU contained a null
pointer dereference. A local attacker in a guest could use this to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2019-12155)
Riccardo Schirone discovered that the QEMU bridge helper did not properly
validate network interface names. A local attacker could possibly use this
to bypass ACL restrictions. (CVE-2019-13164)
It was discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow existed in the SLiRP
networking implementation of QEMU. A local attacker in a guest could use
this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code in the
host. (CVE-2019-14378)
It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the SLiRP
networking implementation of QEMU. A local attacker in a guest could use
this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-15890)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 19.10:
qemu 1:4.0+dfsg-0ubuntu9.1

qemu-user-static 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.42
qemu-utils 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.42
After a standard system update you need to restart all QEMU virtual
machines to make all the necessary changes.
