hw: Intel GPU Denial Of Service while accessing MMIO in lower power state
A flaw was found in Intel graphics hardware GPU where a local attacker with the ability to issue an ioctl could trigger a hardware level crash if MMIO registers were read while the graphics card was in a low-power state. This creates a denial of service situation and the GPU and connected display...

Kernel: KVM: OOB memory access via mmio ring buffer
An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvmcoalescedmmio' object, wherein write indices 'ring-first' and 'ring-last' value could be supplied by a host user-space...

Kernel: KVM: leak of uninitialized stack contents to guest
An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exceptions while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, and VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is a mmio address, as the returned exception object hold...
