kernel: State machine confusion bug in vfio driver leading to memory corruption

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of VFIO. An attacker issuing an ioctl can create a situation where memory is corrupted and modify memory outside of the expected area. This may overwrite kernel memory and subvert kernel execution...

kernel: Integer overflow when using kzalloc in vfio driver

The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication allowed an integer overflow condition to be reached in vfiopciintrs.c. This combined with CVE-2016-9083 may allow an attacker to craft an attack and use unallocated memory, potentially crashing the machine...
