{"id":"CVE-2021-32845","details":"HyperKit is a toolkit for embedding hypervisor capabilities in an application. In versions 0.20210107 and prior of HyperKit, the implementation of `qnotify` at `pci_vtrnd_notify` fails to check the return value of `vq_getchain`. This leads to `struct iovec iov;` being uninitialized and used to read memory in `len = (int) read(sc-\u003evrsc_fd, iov.iov_base, iov.iov_len);` when an attacker is able to make `vq_getchain` fail. This issue may lead to a guest crashing the host causing a denial of service and, under certain circumstance, memory corruption. This issue is fixed in commit 41272a980197917df8e58ff90642d14dec8fe948.","modified":"2026-05-17T11:54:56.046702091Z","published":"2023-02-17T23:15:11.963Z","database_specific":{},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://securitylab.github.com/advisories/GHSL-2021-054_057-moby-hyperkit/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/moby/hyperkit/commit/41272a980197917df8e58ff90642d14dec8fe948"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/moby/hyperkit/pull/313"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
