Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-1682-01 - KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in environments managed by Red Hat products. Security Fix: Quick Emulator built with Network Block Device Server support was vulnerable to a null-pointer dereference issue. The flaw could occur when releasing a client, which was not initialized due to failed negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server.

Issue date: 2017-07-05
CVE Names: CVE-2017-9524
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for qemu-kvm-rhev is now available for RHEV 3.X Hypervisor and
Agents for RHEL-7 and RHEV 4.X RHEV-H and Agents for RHEL-7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

RHEV-H and VDSM for 7 Hosts - ppc64le, x86_64

3. Description:

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for
Linux on a variety of architectures. The qemu-kvm-rhev packages provide the
user-space component for running virtual machines that use KVM in
environments managed by Red Hat products.

Security Fix(es):

* Quick Emulator (QEMU) built with Network Block Device (NBD) Server
support was vulnerable to a null-pointer dereference issue. The flaw could
occur when releasing a client, which was not initialized due to failed
negotiation. A remote user or process could exploit this flaw to crash the
qemu-nbd server (denial of service). (CVE-2017-9524)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, when the data plane was in use, changing the target image of
a virtual SCSI CD device caused the guest to terminate unexpectedly with a
core dump. With this update, the virtio-scsi bus rejects SCSI CDs when the
data plane is active, which prevents the crash from occurring. Note that
this is a temporary solution, and a full fix to make the data plane and
SCSI CD compatible will be provided in the future. (BZ#1461837)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, shut down all running virtual machines. Once
all virtual machines have shut down, start them again for this update to
take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1460170 - CVE-2017-9524 Qemu: nbd: segmentation fault due to client non-negotiation
1461837 - Core dump when use "data-plane" and execute change cd
