The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly
reload the FS and GS segment registers, which allows host OS users to cause
a denial of service (host OS crash) via a KVM_RUN ioctl call in conjunction
with a modified Local Descriptor Table (LDT).

Notes

Author	Note
smb	There is no KVM in Dapper, so that cannot be affected. Maverick needed some adaption as a previous stable patch moved code around. Lucid had it already. Karmic mostly cherry-pick. Hardy needed more twisting.
