Subject: CVE-2017-15118 Qemu: stack buffer overflow in NBD server triggered
via long export name
Hello,
A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in NBD server
implementation in Qemu allowing client to request an export name of size up to
4096 bytes, which in fact should be limited to 256 bytes, allowing to cause
out-of-bounds stack write in Qemu process.
If NBD server requires TLS, the attacker cannot trigger the buffer overflow
without first successfully negotiating TLS.
Upstream patch:
