CVE-2021-3682

CVSS v3.1

8.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions QEMU versions prior to 6.1.0-rc2
Description A flaw was found in the USB redirector device emulation of QEMU. 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.
Recommendations For QEMU versions prior to 6.1.0-rc2, update to version 6.1.0-rc2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SPICE client to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the USB redirector device emulation until the issue is resolved.
