Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2014-11-10 11:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 10:50
VLAI?
Summary
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
