A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. 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.
Se ha encontrado un fallo en el KVM del kernel de Linux cuando es intentado establecer una IRQ SynIC. Este problema hace posible a un VMM que sea comportado inapropiadamente escribir en las MSR de SYNIC/STIMER, causando una desreferencia de puntero NULL. 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
