Subject: CVE-2018-12617 Qemu: qemu-guest-agent: Integer overflow in
qmp_guest_file_read may lead to crash
Hello,
The QEMU Guest Agent in QEMU is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the
qmp_guest_file_read(). An attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted QMP
command (including guest-file-read with a large count value) to the agent via
the listening socket to trigger a g_malloc() call with a large memory chunk
resulting in a segmentation fault.
A user could use this flaw to crash the Qemu-guest-agent resulting in DoS.
Upstream Patch:
-> https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=141b197408ab398c4f474ac1a728ab316e921f2b
This issue was reported by Fakhri Zulkifli.
Thank you.
