**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** QEMU versions 2.10.0 through 5.2.0 **Description** 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 in the `mptsas free request()` function 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. **Recommendations** For versions 2.10.0 through 5.2.0, consider disabling the `mptsas free request()` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the MegaRAID emulator to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `req` object in the affected SCSI I/O requests until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: virt-manager version 2.2.0 Description: The virt-install utility has introduced an option '--unattended' to create virtual machines without user interaction. This option accepts the guest VM password as command line arguments, potentially leaking them to other users on the system via process listing. Recommendations: For virt-manager version 2.2.0, consider avoiding the use of the '--unattended' option until a secure alternative is available, or restrict access to process listings to minimize the risk of password exposure.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Qemu (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to an improper access control problem in Qemu when built with VirtFS and 9pfs support. This could allow a privileged user inside a guest to access the host file system beyond the shared folder, potentially escalating their privileges on the host. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** QEMU (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to a memory leak in the `sdhci sdma transfer multi blocks` function in `hw/sd/sdhci.c` of the QEMU emulator. This can be exploited by a local attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code on the QEMU host. The exploitation involves vectors related to the data transfer length, potentially leading to out-of-bounds heap access and crash. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** QEMU versions prior to 2.9 **Description** A heap buffer overflow issue was found in QEMU's Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA emulator's VNC display driver support. The issue could occur when a VNC client attempted to update its display after a VGA operation is performed by a guest. This could allow a privileged user/process inside a guest to crash the QEMU process or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU process. **Recommendations** For QEMU versions prior to 2.9, update to version 2.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the VNC display driver support until a patch is available. Avoid using the VNC client to update its display after a VGA operation is performed by a guest until the issue is resolved.
