Qemu: qemu-guest-agent: Integer overflow causes segmentation fault in qmp_guest_file_read()

Published Jun 21, 2018 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 24.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
qmp_guest_file_read in qga/commands-posix.c and qga/commands-win32.c in qemu-ga (aka QEMU Guest Agent) in QEMU 2.12.50 has an integer overflow causing a g_malloc0() call to trigger a segmentation fault when trying to allocate a large memory chunk. The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a crafted QMP command (including guest-file-read with a large count value) to the agent via the listening socket.
