-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Testing Security Advisory DTSA-38-1 May 26th, 2007 secure-testing-team@lists.alioth.debian.org Stefan Fritsch http://secure-testing-master.debian.net/ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : qemu Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities Problem-Scope : local Debian-specific: No CVE ID : CVE-2007-1320 CVE-2007-1321 CVE-2007-1322 CVE-2007-1323 CVE-2007-1366 Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the QEMU processor emulator, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2007-1320 Tavis Ormandy discovered that a memory management routine of the Cirrus video driver performs insufficient bounds checking, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code through a heap overflow. CVE-2007-1321 Tavis Ormandy discovered that the NE2000 network driver and the socket code perform insufficient input validation, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code through a heap overflow. CVE-2007-1322 Tavis Ormandy discovered that the "icebp" instruction can be abused to terminate the emulation, resulting in denial of service. CVE-2007-1323 Tavis Ormandy discovered that the NE2000 network driver and the socket code perform insufficient input validation, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code through a heap overflow. CVE-2007-1366 Tavis Ormandy discovered that the "aam" instruction can be abused to crash qemu through a division by zero, resulting in denial of service. For the testing distribution (lenny) this is fixed in version 0.8.2-5lenny1 The package for the powerpc architecture is still missing. It will be released when it becomes available. For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version 0.9.0-2 This upgrade is recommended if you use qemu.
