| Vector | AV:A/AC:H/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.1
Description
The issue arises from a miscalculation in the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure in the
kvm iommu map pages function. This allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service, either through host OS memory corruption by triggering a large gfn value or through host OS memory consumption by triggering a small gfn value, leading to permanently pinned pages.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.16.1, update to version 3.16.1 or later to resolve the issue.
