Vigil@nce - QEMU: infinite loop of e1000

February 2016 by Vigil@nce

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

SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

An attacker in a guest system can generate an infinite loop in the
e1000 implementation of QEMU, in order to trigger a denial of
service on the host system.

Impacted products: QEMU, Ubuntu.

Severity: 1/4.

Creation date: 20/01/2016.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The QEMU product implements the support of e1000 network devices.

However, by using invalid TDH/RDH values, an infinite loop occurs
in the hw/net/e1000.c file.

An attacker in a guest system can therefore generate an infinite
loop in the e1000 implementation of QEMU, in order to trigger a
denial of service on the host system.
