Vigil@nce - QEMU : use after free via AHCI NCQ

mars 2016 par Vigil@nce

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

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

An attacker in a guest system can force the usage of a freed
memory area with AHCI NCQ on QEMU, in order to trigger a denial of
service, and possibly to run code on the host system.

Impacted products : Debian, Fedora, QEMU, RHEL, Ubuntu.

Severity : 2/4.

Creation date : 11/01/2016.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The QEMU product emulates AHCI (Advanced Host Controller
Interface).

However, after a AHCI AIO NCQ (Native Command Queuing) command,
the ahci_reset_port() function frees a memory area before reusing
it.

An attacker in a guest system can therefore force the usage of a
freed memory area with AHCI NCQ on QEMU, in order to trigger a
denial of service, and possibly to run code on the host system.
