Out-of-bounds Write

CVE-2021-3713

High
7.4/10

Summary

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the UAS (USB Attached SCSI) device emulation of QEMU in versions 1.5.0-rc0 through 6.0.0 and 6.1.0-rc0 through 6.1.0. The device uses the guest supplied stream number unchecked, which can lead to out-of-bounds access to the "UASDevice->data3" and "UASDevice->status3" fields. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to crash QEMU or potentially achieve code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.
