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...
