CVE-2012-2121

The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.4 does not properly manage the relationships between memory slots and the iommu, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service memory leak and host OS crash by leveraging administrative access to the guest OS to conduct hotunplug an...

CVE-2012-1601

The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.3.6 allows host OS users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash by making a KVMCREATEIRQCHIP ioctl call after a virtual CPU already exists...

CVE-2012-1179

The Linux kernel before 3.3.1, when KVM is used, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service host OS crash by leveraging administrative access to the guest OS, related to the pmdnoneorclearbad function and page faults for huge pages...

CVE-2012-1601

CVE-2012-1601 concerns the KVM component of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the KVM implementation prior to version 3.3.6 and can be triggered by a host OS user making a KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl after a virtual CPU already exists. The issue may lead to a NULL pointer dereference and...

CVE-2012-1179

CVE-2012-1179 affects the Linux kernel prior to 3.3.1 when KVM is used: guest OS users can trigger a host OS denial of service (host crash) via page faults related to huge pages in pmd_none_or_clear_bad. MiracleLinux and related advisories reference this CVE among fixes in kernel updates before/a...

CVE-2012-2121

CVE-2012-2121 affects the KVM component of the Linux kernel prior to 3.3.4. The vulnerability stems from improper management of the relationships between memory slots and the iommu, enabling guest OS users (with administrative access inside the guest) to trigger hotplug/hotunplug operations on de...
