usb: out-of-bounds r/w access issue while processing usb packets
CVE: CVE-2020-14364
Component: QEMU
CWE: CWE-787
Severity: Important
CVSS v3: 4.5/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L
Release date: 2020-08-24T12:00:00+00:00

An out-of-bounds read/write access flaw was found in the USB emulator of the QEMU. This issue occurs while processing USB packets from a guest when USBDevice 'setup_len' exceeds its 'data_buf[4096]' in the do_token_in, do_token_out routines. This flaw allows a guest user to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service, or the potential execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

Statement: This issue affects the version of the qemu-kvm package as shipped with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux  6, 7 and 8. Future qemu-kvm package updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8 may
address this issue.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is now in Maintenance Support 2 Phase of the support and maintenance life cycle. This issue is not currently planned to be addressed in its future updates. For additional information, refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 15 and newer consume fixes directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Advanced Virtualization repository.

Using Libvirt management interface to manage guest VMs significantly reduces impact of this issue. Libvirt starts each guest process with an unprivileged system user(ex. qemu) privileges and further confines the process with strict sVirt and SELinux policies.
