Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in QEMU (Virtualization Software). This issue affects the function usb_host_handle_control of the file usb-linux.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the usb_host_handle_control function in the USB passthrough handling implementation in usb-linux.c in QEMU before 0.11.1 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash or hang) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS via a crafted USB packet.

The weakness was presented 02/12/2010 with Red Hat (Website). The advisory is shared at rhn.redhat.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2010-0297 since 01/12/2010. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation.
