The instruction decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in
the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 lacks intended decoder-table flags for
certain RIP-relative instructions, which allows guest OS users to cause a
denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via a
crafted application.
