DEBIAN-CVE-2016-4440

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the Linux kernel through 4.6.3 mishandles the APICv on/off state, which allows guest OS users to obtain direct APIC MSR access on the host OS, and consequently cause a denial of service host OS crash or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS, via x2APIC mode...

CVE-2016-3713

The msrmtrrvalid function in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6.1 supports MSR 0x2f8, which allows guest OS users to read or write to the kvmarchvcpu data structure, and consequently obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service system crash, via a crafted ioctl call...

CVE-2016-3713

CVE-2016-3713 affects the Linux kernel up to version 4.6.0 (fixed in 4.6.1). The vulnerability lies in msr_mtrr_valid() in arch/x86/kvm/mtrr.c, which incorrectly supports MSR 0x2f8 and allows a guest OS user to read or write the kvm_arch_vcpu data structure. Impact includes potential information ...

kernel: kvm: insufficient sysenter emulation when invoked from 16-bit code

It was found that the Linux kernel KVM subsystem's sysenter instruction emulation was not sufficient. An unprivileged guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges by tricking the hypervisor to emulate a SYSENTER instruction in 16-bit mode, if the guest OS did not initialize the...
