Summary

qemu security update

Details

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve good emulation speed.

    QEMU has two operating modes:

    Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC),
    including one or several processors and various peripherals. It can be used to launch
    different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.

    User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
    It can be used to launch the Wine Windows API emulator (https://www.winehq.org) or to ease
    cross-compilation and cross-debugging.
    You can refer to https://www.qemu.org for more infortmation.

Security Fix(es):

An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller emulation of QEMU while computing the length of the Transfer Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to hang the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-14394)

Severity

6.5 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
