A flaw was found in the way RTAS handled memory accesses in userspace to
kernel communication. On a locked down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest
system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries platform) a
root like local user could use this flaw to further increase their
privileges to that of a running kernel.
