Descriptions

An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the Linux kernel, all versions through 5.3, in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be supplied by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating privileges on the system.

Se encontró un problema de acceso fuera de límites en el kernel de Linux, todas las versiones hasta 5.3, en la manera en que el hipervisor KVM del kernel de Linux implementa la operación de escritura MMIO Coalesced. Opera en un objeto MMIO ring buffer "struct kvm_coalesced_mmio", en donde los índices de escritura "ring-)first" y "ring-)last" podrían ser suministrados por un proceso de espacio de usuario del host. Un usuario o proceso host no privilegiado con acceso al dispositivo "/dev/kvm" podría usar esta falla para bloquear el kernel host, resultando en una denegación de servicio o la escalada de manera potencial de los privilegios en el sistema.
