Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in kvm, a full virtualization system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2009-3638 It was discovered an Integer overflow in the kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid function. This allows local users to have an unspecified impact via a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID request to the kvm_arch_dev_ioctl function.
CVE-2009-3722 It was discovered that the handle_dr function in the KVM subsystem does not properly verify the Current Privilege Level (CPL) before accessing a debug register, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (trap) on the host OS via a crafted application.
CVE-2009-4031 It was discovered that the do_insn_fetch function in the x86 emulator in the KVM subsystem tries to interpret instructions that contain too many bytes to be valid, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (increased scheduling latency) on the host OS via unspecified manipulations related to SMP support.
