A flaw was found in the way QEMU-KVM handled the reloading of fs and gs segment registers when they had invalid selectors. A privileged host user with access to ‘/dev/kvm’ could use this flaw to crash the host (denial of service). (CVE-2010-3698)

The following procedure must be performed before this update will take effect :

  1. Stop all KVM guest virtual machines.

  2. Either reboot the hypervisor machine or, as the root user, remove (using ‘modprobe -r [module]’) and reload (using ‘modprobe [module]’) all of the following modules which are currently running (determined using ‘lsmod’): kvm, ksm, kvm-intel or kvm-amd.

  3. Restart the KVM guest virtual machines.
