Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in kvm, a full virtualization system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2010-0298 CVE-2010-0306 Gleb Natapov discovered issues in the KVM subsystem where missing permission checks (CPL/IOPL) permit a user in a guest system to denial of service a guest (system crash) or gain escalated privileges with the guest.
CVE-2010-0309 Marcelo Tosatti fixed an issue in the PIT emulation code in the KVM subsystem that allows privileged users in a guest domain to cause a denial of service (crash) of the host system.
CVE-2010-0419 Paolo Bonzini found a bug in KVM that can be used to bypass proper permission checking while loading segment selectors. This potentially allows privileged guest users to execute privileged instructions on the host system.
