CVE-2017-15118 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:13 qemu to version 1:2.11+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu package and not the qemu package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in NBD server implementation in qemu before 2.11 allowing a client to request an export name of size up to 4096 bytes, which in fact should be limited to 256 bytes, causing an out-of-bounds stack write in the qemu process. If NBD server requires TLS, the attacker cannot trigger the buffer overflow without first successfully negotiating TLS.
