Small enterprises face increasingly serious threats to their internal networks but often lack the financial resources, computing capacity, and specialist staff required to deploy resource intensive security platforms. This paper designs and implements VPID, a lightweight framework for vulnerabili...

kernel: kvm: vmx: invvpid vm exit not handled

It was found that the Linux kernel's KVM subsystem did not handle the VM exits gracefully for the invvpid Invalidate Translations Based on VPID instructions. On hosts with an Intel processor and invppid VM exit support, an unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to crash the guest...
