Descriptions

The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.6 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) by making a KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl call after a virtual CPU already exists.

La implementación KVM en el núcleo de Linux anterior a la versión V3.3.6 permite a los usuarios del sistema operativo causar una denegación de servicio (puntero NULL a referencia eliminada y caída del sistema operativo del host) al hacer una llamada ioctl KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP sobre una CPU virtual que ya existe.
