Descriptions
The VFIO PCI driver in the Linux kernel through 5.6.13 mishandles attempts to access disabled memory space.
El controlador VFIO PCI en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.6.13, maneja inapropiadamente los intentos para acceder al espacio de memoria deshabilitado.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where it allows userspace processes, for example, a guest VM, to directly access h/w devices via its VFIO driver modules. The VFIO modules allow users to enable or disable access to the devices' MMIO memory address spaces. If a user attempts to access the read/write devices' MMIO address space when it is disabled, some h/w devices issue an interrupt to the CPU to indicate a fatal error condition, crashing the system. This flaw allows a guest user or process to crash the host system resulting in a denial of service.
