TITLE

QEMU 'hw/block/fdc.c' VENOM Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier and KVM, allows local guest users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) FD_CMD_READ_ID, (2) FD_CMD_DRIVE_SPECIFICATION_COMMAND, or other unspecified commands, aka VENOM. QEMU is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition. 6) - i386, x86_64 3.

Release Date: 2015-06-09 Last Updated: 2015-06-09 Potential Security Impact: Local Denial of Service (DoS), arbitrary code execution Source: Hewlett-Packard Company, HP Software Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP Helion CloudSystem. The vulnerability could be exploited locally resulting in Denial of Service (DoS) or execution of arbitrary code. Notes: This is the vulnerability known as "Virtual Environment Neglected Operations Manipulation" also known as "VENOM". This vulnerability exists in the floppy disk controller driver of QEMU, an open-source virtualization technology used to provision guest Virtual Machines. This vulnerability affects all versions of QEMU and could lead to hypervisor breakout, where a user of the guest VM can gain control of the host. HP Helion CloudSystem leverages QEMU as a core part of its virtualization functionality and is therefore affected by this vulnerability. References: CVE-2015-3456 (SSRT102076) SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. HP Helion CloudSystem software: HP Helion CloudSystem 8.x series Note: Only HP CloudSystem deployment using KVM on RHEL version 6.4 or 6.5 in the control plane or the data plane are affected by this vulnerability BACKGROUND CVSS 2.0 Base Metrics =========================================================== Reference Base Vector Base Score CVE-2015-3456 (AV:A/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C) 7.7 =========================================================== Information on CVSS is documented in HP Customer Notice: HPSN-2008-002 RESOLUTION HP recommends following remediation steps to resolve the vulnerability in HP Helion CloudSystem. The following steps are recommended by Red Hat ( https://access.redhat.com/articles/1444903 ) and must be applied for each control plane and data plane node that is using KVM for virtualization: Login to the node Upgrade the QEMU package for your system using the command: 'yum update qemu-kvm'.

Description: KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. The qemu-kvm package provides the user-space component for running virtual machines using KVM. An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the way QEMU's virtual Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) handled FIFO buffer access while processing certain FDC commands. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the guest or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the host's QEMU process corresponding to the guest. (CVE-2015-3456) Red Hat would like to thank Jason Geffner of CrowdStrike for reporting this issue. All qemu-kvm users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
