Description

vmstate_xhci_event in hw/usb/hcd-xhci.c in QEMU 1.6.0 does not terminate the list with the VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST macro, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access, infinite loop, and memory corruption) and possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-app-emulation-qemu

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
