SUSE CVE-2018-16880
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handlerx function in the vhostnet driver. A malicious virtual guest, under specific conditions, can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the...
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handle_rx() function in the [vhost_net] driver. A malicious virtual guest under specific conditions can trigger an out-of-bounds write in a kmalloc-8 slab on a virtual host which may lead to a kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out. Versions from v4.16 and newer are vulnerable.

Kernel: vhost_net: infinite loop while receiving packets leads to DoS
An infinite loop issue was found in the vhostnet kernel module while handling incoming packets in handlerx. The infinite loop could occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe a remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhostnet kernel thread,...
