kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFN

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine x86 shadow paging mechanism. This use-after-free vulnerability arises from incorrect handling of Guest Frame Numbers GFNs when guest page tables are modified. A local attacker with control over a guest virtual machine could...

kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Privilege escalation or denial of service due to improper shadow page table entry handling

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine KVM component. A local attacker with privileges on the host system could exploit a vulnerability in how KVM handles shadow page table entries SPTEs during memory-mapped I/O MMIO operations. By manipulating guest page table entrie...
