Published Mar 18, 2021 · Updated Mar 19, 2021

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2020-16092: An assertion failure flaw was found in QEMU in the network packet processing component. This issue affects the "e1000e" and "vmxnet3" network devices. This flaw allows a malicious guest user or process to abort the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service. 1860283: CVE-2020-16092 QEMU: reachable assertion failure in net_tx_pkt_add_raw_fragment() in hw/net/net_tx_pkt.c CVE-2020-13765: An out-of-bound write access flaw was found in the way QEMU loads ROM contents at boot time. This flaw occurs in the rom_copy() routine while loading the contents of a 32-bit -kernel image into memory. Running an untrusted -kernel image may load contents at arbitrary memory locations, potentially leading to code execution with the privileges of the QEMU process. 1842912: CVE-2020-13765 QEMU: loader: OOB access while loading registered ROM may lead to code execution
