Subject: Re: CVE request Qemu: net: eepro100: infinite loop in processing command block list
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
> Qemu emulator built with the i8255x (PRO100) emulation support is vulnerable
> to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing a chain of commands
> located in the Command Block List(CBL). Each Command Block(CB) points to the
> next command in the list. An infinite loop unfolds if the link to the next
> CB points to the same block or there is a closed loop in the chain.

This is not yet available at
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=history;f=hw/net/eepro100.c but that
may be an expected place for a later update. eepro100.c mentions
"Portions of the code are copies from ... linux e100.c" at the top. We
have not researched this, but it appears that this QEMU vulnerability
is not present in
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c
and thus we don't see any indication that the Linux kernel is another
affected product.
Use CVE-2015-8345.
