An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled the 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get CPUID features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user or process able to access the '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in a denial of service.

Description Prasad Pandit 2019-12-04 10:36:39 UTC 
An OOB memory write issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor
handled 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get cpuid features emulated by the KVM hypervisor.

A user/process able to access '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS issue.
