CVE-2021-3682

A flaw was found in the USB redirector device emulation of QEMU in versions prior to 6.1.0-rc2. It occurs when dropping packets during a bulk transfer from a SPICE client due to the packet queue being full. A malicious SPICE client could use this flaw to make QEMU call free() with faked heap chunk metadata, resulting in a crash of QEMU or potential code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

Se ha encontrado un fallo en la emulación del dispositivo redirector USB de QEMU en versiones anteriores a 6.1.0-rc2. Ocurre cuando se abandonan paquetes durante una transferencia masiva desde un cliente SPICE debido a que la queue de paquetes está lleno. Un cliente SPICE malicioso podría usar este fallo para hacer que QEMU llame a la función free() con metadatos de trozos de pila falsificados, resultando en un bloqueo de QEMU o la posible ejecución de código con los privilegios del proceso QEMU en el host
