Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5278/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5278","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5278","GHSA-7423-57pf-4w2q","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5278"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QEMU emulator","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code in QEMU via crafted network packets.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"eos","vendor":"arista"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"qemu","vendor":"qemu"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"The ne2000_receive function in hw/net/ne2000.c in QEMU before 2.4.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and instance crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to receiving packets.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in QEMU","id":"CVE-2015-5278","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","fedoraproject:fedora","qemu:qemu"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5279"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5277"},"products":["QEMU"],"published":"2020-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Arista Extensible Operating System Incomplete Comparison with Missing Factors","id":"CVE-2026-7473","kev_date_added":"2026-06-09","published":"2026-06-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-02"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Arista EOS","id":"CVE-2023-24509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-13"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["QEMU"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code in QEMU via crafted network packets.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5278/"}
