The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the qemu-kvm-6.1.0-3.el9 build changelog.

  - use-after-free during packet reassembly [rhel-av-8]) (CVE-2019-15890)

  - A flaw was found in QEMU in the implementation of the Pointer Authentication (PAuth) support for ARM     introduced in version 4.0 and fixed in version 5.0.0. A general failure of the signature generation     process caused every PAuth-enforced pointer to be signed with the same signature. A local attacker could     obtain the signature of a protected pointer and abuse this flaw to bypass PAuth protection for all     programs running on QEMU. (CVE-2020-10702)

  - A potential DoS flaw was found in the virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) implementation of     the QEMU version >= v5.0. Virtio-fs is meant to share a host file system directory with a guest via     virtio-fs device. If the guest opens the maximum number of file descriptors under the shared directory, a     denial of service may occur. This flaw allows a guest user/process to cause this denial of service on the     host. (CVE-2020-10717)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the SLiRP networking implementation of the QEMU emulator.
    This flaw occurs in the icmp6_send_echoreply() routine while replying to an ICMP echo request, also known     as ping. This flaw allows a malicious guest to leak the contents of the host memory, resulting in possible     information disclosure. This flaw affects versions of libslirp before 4.3.1. (CVE-2020-10756)

  - An assertion failure issue was found in the Network Block Device(NBD) Server in all QEMU versions before     QEMU 5.0.1. This flaw occurs when an nbd-client sends a spec-compliant request that is near the boundary     of maximum permitted request length. A remote nbd-client could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-10761)

  - out-of-bounds r/w access issue while processing usb packets [rhel-av-8.3.0]) (CVE-2020-14364)

  - OOB heap access via an unexpected response of iSCSI Server [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-1711)

  - A use after free vulnerability in ip_reass() in ip_input.c of libslirp 4.2.0 and prior releases allows     crafted packets to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-1983)

  - A flaw was found in the memory management API of QEMU during the initialization of a memory region cache.
    This issue could lead to an out-of-bounds write access to the MSI-X table while performing MMIO     operations. A guest user may abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial     of service. This flaw affects QEMU versions prior to 5.2.0. (CVE-2020-27821)

  - A flaw was found in qemu. A host privilege escalation issue was found in the virtio-fs shared file system     daemon where a privileged guest user is able to create a device special file in the shared directory and     use it to r/w access host devices. (CVE-2020-35517)

  - OOB buffer access while emulating tcp protocols in tcp_emu() [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-7039)

  - potential OOB access due to unsafe snprintf() usages [rhel-av-8.2.0]) (CVE-2020-8608)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller emulator of     QEMU up to and including qemu 4.2.0on aarch64 platform. The issue occurs because while writing an     interrupt ID to the controller memory area, it is not masked to be 4 bits wide. It may lead to the said     issue while updating controller state fields and their subsequent processing. A privileged guest user may     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-20221)

  - A flaw was found in the virtio-fs shared file system daemon (virtiofsd) of QEMU. The new 'xattrmap' option     may cause the 'security.capability' xattr in the guest to not drop on file write, potentially leading to a     modified, privileged executable in the guest. In rare circumstances, this flaw could be used by a     malicious user to elevate their privileges within the guest. (CVE-2021-20263)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2021-9568 advisory.

  - In QEMU 4.2.0, a MemoryRegionOps object may lack read/write callback methods, leading to a NULL pointer     dereference. (CVE-2020-15469)

  - A flaw was found in the memory management API of QEMU during the initialization of a memory region cache.
    This issue could lead to an out-of-bounds write access to the MSI-X table while performing MMIO     operations. A guest user may abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial     of service. This flaw affects QEMU versions prior to 5.2.0. (CVE-2020-27821)

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer access issue was found in the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller emulator of     QEMU up to and including qemu 4.2.0on aarch64 platform. The issue occurs because while writing an     interrupt ID to the controller memory area, it is not masked to be 4 bits wide. It may lead to the said     issue while updating controller state fields and their subsequent processing. A privileged guest user may     use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario. (CVE-2021-20221)

  - The patch for CVE-2020-17380/CVE-2020-25085 was found to be ineffective, thus making QEMU vulnerable to     the out-of-bounds read/write access issues previously found in the SDHCI controller emulation code. This     flaw allows a malicious privileged guest to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of     service or potential code execution. QEMU up to (including) 5.2.0 is affected by this. (CVE-2021-3409)

  - A divide-by-zero issue was found in dwc2_handle_packet in hw/usb/hcd-dwc2.c in the hcd-dwc2 USB host     controller emulation of QEMU. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-27661)

  - An infinite loop flaw was found in the e1000 NIC emulator of the QEMU. This issue occurs while processing     transmits (tx) descriptors in process_tx_desc if various descriptor fields are initialized with invalid     values. This flaw allows a guest to consume CPU cycles on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20257)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the MegaRAID emulator of QEMU. This issue occurs while processing SCSI     I/O requests in the case of an error mptsas_free_request() that does not dequeue the request object 'req'     from a pending requests queue. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the     host, resulting in a denial of service. Versions between 2.10.0 and 5.2.0 are potentially affected.
    (CVE-2021-3392)

  - A flaw was found in the USB redirector device (usb-redir) of QEMU. Small USB packets are combined into a     single, large transfer request, to reduce the overhead and improve performance. The combined size of the     bulk transfer is used to dynamically allocate a variable length array (VLA) on the stack without proper     validation. Since the total size is not bounded, a malicious guest could use this flaw to influence the     array length and cause the QEMU process to perform an excessive allocation on the stack, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2021-3527)

  - Several memory leaks were found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of QEMU in versions     up to and including 6.0. They exist in contrib/vhost-user-gpu/vhost-user-gpu.c and contrib/vhost-user-     gpu/virgl.c due to improper release of memory (i.e., free) after effective lifetime. (CVE-2021-3544)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability was found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of     QEMU in versions up to and including 6.0. The flaw exists in virgl_cmd_get_capset_info() in contrib/vhost-     user-gpu/virgl.c and could occur due to the read of uninitialized memory. A malicious guest could exploit     this issue to leak memory from the host. (CVE-2021-3545)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the virtio vhost-user GPU device (vhost-user-gpu) of     QEMU in versions up to and including 6.0. The flaw occurs while processing the 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET'     command from the guest. It could allow a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service condition, or potential code execution with the privileges of the QEMU     process. (CVE-2021-3546)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device. The issue occurs while     handling a PVRDMA_CMD_CREATE_MR command due to improper memory remapping (mremap). This flaw allows a     malicious guest to crash the QEMU process on the host. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability. (CVE-2021-3582)

  - An integer overflow was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device in versions     prior to 6.1.0. The issue occurs while handling a PVRDMA_REG_DSRHIGH write from the guest due to     improper input validation. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to make QEMU allocate a large amount     of memory, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-3607)

  - A flaw was found in the QEMU implementation of VMWare's paravirtual RDMA device in versions prior to     6.1.0. The issue occurs while handling a PVRDMA_REG_DSRHIGH write from the guest and may result in a     crash of QEMU or cause undefined behavior due to the access of an uninitialized pointer. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3608)
