USN-2419-1: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities

A flaw was discovered in how the Linux kernel's KVM Kernel Virtual Machine subsystem handles the CR4 control register at VM entry on Intel processors. A local host OS user can exploit this to cause a denial of service kill arbitrary processes, or system disruption by leveraging /dev/kvm access...
