Descriptions

The x86 emulator in KVM 83, when a guest is configured for Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), does not properly restrict writing of segment selectors to segment registers, which might allow guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) or gain privileges on the guest OS by leveraging access to a (1) IO port or (2) MMIO region, and replacing an instruction in between emulator entry and instruction fetch.

El emulador x86 en KVM 83, cuando un invitado esta configura para Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), no restringe de manera adecuada la escritura de los selectores de segmento en los registros de segmento, lo que permitiría a usuarios del sistema operativo invitado producir una denegación de servicio (caída del sistema operativo invitado) o ganar privilegios en el sistema operativo invitado mediante el bloqueo de acceso a (1) un puerto IO, (2) una región MMIO, y reemplazando una instrucción entre la entrada del emulador y la instrucción.
