CVE-2018-12904

In arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel before 4.17.2, when nested virtualization is used, local attackers could cause L1 KVM guests to VMEXIT, potentially allowing privilege escalations and denial of service attacks due to lack of checking of CPL...

CVE-2017-8106

The handleinvept function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel 3.12 through 3.15 allows privileged KVM guest OS users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash via a single-context INVEPT instruction with a NULL EPT pointer...

CVE-2017-2596

The nestedvmxcheckvmptr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 improperly emulates the VMXON instruction, which allows KVM L1 guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS memory consumption by leveraging the mishandling of page references...

USN-2804-1: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerability

Ben Serebrin discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly catch Alignment Check exceptions. An attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service system crash in the host OS...

CVE-2013-4587

Array index error in the kvmvmioctlcreatevcpu function in virt/kvm/kvmmain.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows local users to gain privileges via a large id value...

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS : linux-ec2 vulnerabilities (USN-2037-1)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's KVM kernel virtual machine. An administrative user in the guest OS could leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service in the host OS. CVE-2012-2121 Multiple integer overflow flaws where discovered in the Alchemy LCD frame- buffer drivers in the Linux...

CVE-2012-4461

The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.6.9, when running on hosts that use qemu userspace without XSAVE, allows local users to cause a denial of service kernel OOPS by using the KVMSETSREGS ioctl to set the X86CR4OSXSAVE bit in the guest cr4 register, then calling the KVMRUN ioctl...

CVE-2010-3698

The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly reload the FS and GS segment registers, which allows host OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash via a KVMRUN ioctl call in conjunction with a modified Local Descriptor Table LDT...
