QEMU virtio-gpu fix stops short headers leaking fence data

CVE-2026-18054 covered truncated control requests that could return stale fence metadata to guests in both built-in and vhost-user GPU paths.

QEMU patches five CVEs across virtio, vhost-user, and RNG

A 30-patch pull from Michael Tsirkin hardens device emulation against guest-triggered host crashes, memory corruption, and a CXL heap leak.

QEMU plugs libvduse out-of-bounds write via virtqueue size check

Missing validation of vq size let a peer drive writes past the inflight log, tracked as CVE-2026-61402.

QEMU lands virtio security fixes for OOB reads and writes

Three patches from Michael S. Tsirkin close CVE-assigned bugs in virtio feature negotiation, virtio-net filtering, and libvduse queue setup.

QEMU fixes virtio-gpu use-after-free on blob detach

CVE-2026-66020 let a guest trigger reads of freed memory via cursor updates and scanout refresh after RESOURCE_DETACH_BACKING.

QEMU fixes virtio-mmio queue size OOB (CVE-2026-50626)

virtio-mmio always advertised a 1024-entry maximum, which becomes unsafe once QEMU itself allocates in-order virtqueue resources.

QEMU virtio-gpu fix stops cursor update from freed blob memory

CVE-2026-66020 left a dangling pointer after RESOURCE_DETACH_BACKING, so UPDATE_CURSOR could memcpy from freed host memory.

QEMU virtio-gpu fix stops guest OOB read via blob size

A missing check let a malicious guest inflate blob size past its backing buffer and force out-of-bounds host reads on scanout.

QEMU virtio-net DMA re-entrancy guard bypass fixed

An incomplete follow-up to CVE-2024-3446 left the network device open to the same class of attack under a new CVE.

QEMU device models and migration streams keep producing host CVEs

A dense run of USB, display, NIC, and UEFI fixes shows the project still treating guest and migration input as untrusted, while the underlying C surface remains large enough that clouds must keep asking how much trust that buys them.

QEMU lands USB, UEFI, and QXL security fixes in one busy window

Developers closed multiple CVEs spanning usbredir and XHCI, the UEFI variable service, and QXL primary surfaces.
