Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QEMU, a fast processor emulator. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2012-2652 :
    The snapshot mode of QEMU (-snapshot) incorrectly handles temporary files used to store the current state, making it vulnerable to symlink attacks (including arbitrary file overwriting and guest information disclosure) due to a race condition.

  • CVE-2012-3515 :
    QEMU does not properly handle VT100 escape sequences when emulating certain devices with a virtual console backend. An attacker within a guest with access to the vulnerable virtual console could overwrite memory of QEMU and escalate privileges to that of the qemu process.
