A flaw was found in the QEMU virtual crypto device while handling data encryption/decryption requests in virtio_crypto_handle_sym_req. There is no check for the value of `src_len` and `dst_len` in virtio_crypto_sym_op_helper, potentially leading to a heap buffer overflow when the two values differ.

CVE-2020-11947 [LOW] QEMU regression
Title: QEMU regression
Summary: USN-8412-1 introduced a regression in QEMU
USN-8412-1 fixed vulnerabilities QEMU. On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the fix for
CVE-2024-4467 was incomplete and prevented the creation of boot volumes
from qcow2 images. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Felipe Franciosi, Raphael Norwitz, and Peter Turschmid discovered that the
iSCSI block driver in QEMU incorrectly handled certain responses from an
iSCSI server. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
QEMU to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-1711)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
