Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in QEMU (Virtualization Software) (the affected version unknown). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown part of the component Tulip Device Emulation. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the Tulip device emulation in QEMU. When Tulip reads or writes to the rx/tx descriptor or copies the rx/tx frame, it doesn't check whether the destination address is its own MMIO address. This can cause the device to trigger MMIO handlers multiple times, possibly leading to a stack or heap overflow. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition.

The weakness was shared 09/14/2022 as 1171. The advisory is available at gitlab.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2022-2962 since 08/23/2022. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
