Descriptions

A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in KVM when releasing a vCPU with dirty ring support enabled. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service.

Este fallo permite a un atacante local no privilegiado en el host emitir llamadas ioctl específicas, causando una condición de oops en el kernel que resulta en una denegación de servicio
