March 2017 by Vigil@nce

This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : https://vigilance.fr/offer

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

An attacker in tghe guest system can create a memory leak in the
ac97 audio device driver of QEMU, in order to trigger a denial of
service against the host system.

 Impacted products: Fedora, openSUSE Leap, QEMU, SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop, SLES.
 Severity: 2/4.
 Creation date: 18/01/2017.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The QEMU product can emulate the audio device ac97.

However, some memory areas are are not freed at software
unplugging time.

An attacker, inside a guest system, can therefore create a memory
leak in the ac97 audio device driver of QEMU, in order to trigger
a denial of service against the host system.
