CVE-2017-15118

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2017-15118. PoCs published by Eric Blake.

AI-analyzed exploit summary The writeup describes a stack-based buffer overflow in QEMU's NBD server (CVE-2017-15118) due to improper handling of export names longer than 256 bytes. It includes a demonstration command to trigger the crash but does not provide functional exploit code.

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in NBD server implementation in qemu before 2.11 allowing a client to request an export name of size up to 4096 bytes, which in fact should be limited to 256 bytes, causing an out-of-bounds stack write in the qemu process. If NBD server requires TLS, the attacker cannot trigger the buffer overflow without first successfully negotiating TLS.
