Doc Text:
It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local (CVE-2014-7842) or a L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313) denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. Please note that on certain systems, HPET is mapped to userspace as part of vdso (vvar) and thus an unprivileged user may generate MMIO transactions (and enter the emulator) this way.

Description Petr Matousek 2014-11-13 07:56:55 EST 
It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space can lead to either
local (CVE-2014-7842) or L2->L1 (CVE-2010-5313) DoS.

In the case of local DoS attacker needs access to MMIO area or be able to
generate port access. Please note that on certain systems HPET is mapped
to userspace as part of vdso (vvar) and thus an unprivileged user may
generate MMIO transactions (and enter the emulator) this way.
