Created: Nov 16, 2014    Updated: Dec 3, 2018
Resolved Date: Dec 21, 2014
Found In Version: 6.0.0.15
Fix Version: 6.0.0.16
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.
