| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.18-rc2
Description
The issue is related to the instruction decoder in the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel. It lacks intended decoder-table flags for certain RIP-relative instructions, allowing guest OS users to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by a crafted application, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and a host OS crash.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.18-rc2, update to version 3.18-rc2 or later to resolve the issue.
