Moby HyperKit uninitialized memory use vtrnd pci_vtrnd_notify

CVE-2021-32845

What is CVE-2021-32845?

In HyperKit versions 0.20210107 and earlier, a vulnerability exists related to the qnotify function in pci_vtrnd_notify. The failure to verify the return value of vq_getchain leads to an uninitialized struct iovec iov, which can be exploited by an attacker to read sensitive memory when a failure occurs in vq_getchain. This flaw may result in denial of service by crashing the host and could also potentially cause memory corruption, affecting the stability and security of the system.
