An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-15124 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Qemu Qemu. 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-2017-15124/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15124/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15124","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15124/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15124","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-15124","GHSA-7hxc-fq33-47vp","RHSA-2018:3062","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-15124"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"QEMU VNC server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious remote VNC client can cause a denial of service on the QEMU host by triggering unbounded memory allocation through unthrottled framebuffer updates.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"qemu","vendor":"qemu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"VNC server implementation in Quick Emulator (QEMU) 2.11.0 and older was found to be vulnerable to an unbounded memory allocation issue, as it did not throttle the framebuffer updates sent to its client.
