QEMU: tulip: DMA reentrancy issue leads to stack or heap overflow

Published Sep 13, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the Tulip device emulation in QEMU. When Tulip reads or writes to the rx/tx descriptor or copies the rx/tx frame, it doesn't check whether the destination address is its own MMIO address. This can cause the device to trigger MMIO handlers multiple times, possibly leading to a stack or heap overflow. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service condition.
