Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in qemu-dlevel Qemu package affect IBM SmartCloud Provisioning V2.1 for IBM Software Virtual Appliance.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2016-4001
DESCRIPTION: Qemu, built with the Luminary Micro Stellaris Ethernet Controller, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking in the stellaris_enet_receive() when receiving network packets. A remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the Qemu process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112134 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-4002
DESCRIPTION: Qemu, built with the MIPSnet controller emulator, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking in the mipsnet_receive() when receiving network packets. A remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the Qemu process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/112135 for the current score
