OESA-2024-2201 (CVE-2024-6505)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2024-09-27 11:07 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:07 – Source website

Summary

qemu security update

Details

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve good emulation speed.

Security Fix(es):

A flaw was found in the virtio-net device in QEMU. When enabling the RSS feature on the virtio-net network card, the indirections_table data within RSS becomes controllable. Setting excessively large values may cause an index out-of-bounds issue, potentially resulting in heap overflow access. This flaw allows a privileged user in the guest to crash the QEMU process on the host.(CVE-2024-6505)

Severity

6.8 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
