GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

UBUNTU-CVE-2024-6505 (CVE-2024-6505)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2024-07-05 14:15 – Updated: 2025-09-12 05:05 – Source website

Details

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.
