Descriptions

An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the Linux Kernel, version 3.13 through 5.4, in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service.

Se encontró un problema de escritura de memoria fuera de límites en el kernel de Linux, versiones 3.13 hasta 5.4, en la manera en que el hipervisor KVM del kernel de Linux manejó la petición "KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID" ioctl(2) para obtener las funcionalidades de CPUID emuladas por el hipervisor KVM. Un usuario o proceso capaz de acceder al dispositivo "/dev/kvm" podría usar este fallo para bloquear el sistema, resultando en una denegación de servicio.
