CVE-2020-8608: Buffer Overflow
First published: Mon Jan 27 2020(Updated: )
A out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator. It occurs in tcp_emu() routine while emulating IRC and other protocols due to unsafe usage of snprintf(3) function. A user/process could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host. Also with SELinux and sVirt access control in place, malicious activity is restricted.
