CVE-2020-2732

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for the L2 guest when nested=1 virtualization is enabled. In the instruction emulation, the L2 guest could trick the L0 hypervisor into accessing sensitive bits of the L1 hypervisor. An L2 guest could use this flaw to...

UBUNTU-CVE-2020-2732

A flaw was discovered in the way that the KVM hypervisor handled instruction emulation for an L2 guest when nested virtualisation is enabled. Under some circumstances, an L2 guest may trick the L0 guest into accessing sensitive L1 resources that should be inaccessible to the L2 guest...

Kernel: KVM: nVMX: use-after-free of the hrtimer for emulation of the preemption timer

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor emulates a preemption timer for L2 guests when nested =1 virtualization is enabled. This high resolution timerhrtimer runs when a L2 guest is active. After VM exit, the syncvmcs12 timer object is stopped. The...

Kernel: KVM: nVMX: guest accesses L0 MSR causes potential DoS

A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Register MSR access with nested=1 virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash th...
