Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: qemu-kvm-rhev security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:1441-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1441
Issue date: 2017-06-14
CVE Names: CVE-2016-9603 CVE-2017-2633 CVE-2017-7718
CVE-2017-7980
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 6.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 6 - x86_64
3. Description:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.
Security Fix(es):
* A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
emulator's VNC display driver support; the issue could occur when a VNC
client attempted to update its display after a VGA operation is performed
by a guest. A privileged user/process inside a guest could use this flaw to
crash the QEMU process or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host
with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2016-9603)
* An out-of-bounds r/w access issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx
VGA Emulator support. The vulnerability could occur while copying VGA data
via various bitblt functions. A privileged user inside a guest could use
this flaw to crash the QEMU process or, potentially, execute arbitrary code
on the host with privileges of the QEMU process. (CVE-2017-7980)
* An out-of-bounds memory access issue was found in QEMU's VNC display
driver support. The vulnerability could occur while refreshing the VNC
display surface area in the 'vnc_refresh_server_surface'. A user/process
inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in
a denial of service. (CVE-2017-2633)
* An out-of-bounds access issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA
Emulator support. The vulnerability could occur while copying VGA data
using bitblt functions (for example, cirrus_bitblt_rop_fwd_transp_). A
privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU
process, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-7718)
Red Hat would like to thank Jiangxin (PSIRT Huawei Inc.) and Li Qiang
(Qihoo 360 Gear Team) for reporting CVE-2017-7980 and Jiangxin (PSIRT
Huawei Inc.) for reporting CVE-2017-7718.
