Description Rohit Keshri 2024-01-09 11:59:37 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in vhost_new_msg in drivers/vhost/vhost.c in the Linux kernel. This flaw does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from  the /dev/vhost-net device file.
