CVE-2020-1711: An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU versions 2.12.0 before 4.2.1 handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsi_co_block_status() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
CVE-2020-8608: In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow in later code.
10 issues skipped by the security teams:
CVE-2018-15746: qemu-seccomp.c in QEMU might allow local OS guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) by leveraging mishandling of the seccomp policy for threads other than the main thread.
CVE-2017-15124: VNC server implementation in Quick Emulator (QEMU) 2.11.0 and older was found to be vulnerable to an unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client. If the client did not consume these updates, VNC server allocates growing memory to hold onto this data. A malicious remote VNC client could use this flaw to cause DoS to the server host.
CVE-2017-11334: The address_space_write_continue function in exec.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access and guest instance crash) by leveraging use of qemu_map_ram_ptr to access guest ram block area.
CVE-2016-9923: Quick Emulator (Qemu) built with the 'chardev' backend support is vulnerable to a use after free issue. It could occur while hotplug and unplugging the device in the guest. A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash a Qemu process on the host resulting in DoS.
CVE-2015-8817: QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) built to use 'address_space_translate' to map an address to a MemoryRegionSection is vulnerable to an OOB r/w access issue. It could occur while doing pci_dma_read/write calls. Affects QEMU versions >= 1.6.0 and <= 2.3.1. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the guest instance resulting in DoS.
CVE-2017-13672: QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with the VGA display emulator support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving display update.
CVE-2018-19665: The Bluetooth subsystem in QEMU mishandles negative values for length variables, leading to memory corruption.
CVE-2018-18438: Qemu has integer overflows because IOReadHandler and its associated functions use a signed integer data type for a size value.
CVE-2019-8934: hw/ppc/spapr.c in QEMU through 3.1.0 allows Information Exposure because the hypervisor shares the /proc/device-tree/system-id and /proc/device-tree/model system attributes with a guest.
Please fix them.
Standards version of the package is outdated.

CVE-2019-12068: In QEMU 1:4.1-1, 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u6, 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u8, 1:3.1+dfsg-8~deb10u1, 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u2, and 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u12 (fixed), when executing script in lsi_execute_script(), the LSI scsi adapter emulator advances 's->dsp' index to read next opcode. This can lead to an infinite loop if the next opcode is empty. Move the existing loop exit after 10k iterations so that it covers no-op opcodes as well.

CVE-2019-5008: hw/sparc64/sun4u.c in QEMU 3.1.50 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference, which allows the attacker to cause a denial of service via a device driver.
CVE-2017-9503: QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2 Host Bus Adapter emulation support, allows local guest OS privileged users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving megasas command processing.
