CVE-2020-35503
CVSS v3.1
6.0
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
QEMU versions prior to 6.0
Description:
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the megasas-gen2 SCSI host bus adapter emulation of QEMU. This issue occurs in the
megasas command cancelled() callback function while dropping a SCSI request. The flaw allows a privileged guest user to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.Recommendations:
For QEMU versions prior to 6.0, update to a version later than 6.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
megasas command cancelled() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the megasas-gen2 SCSI host bus adapter emulation to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
