kernel is vulnerable to denial of service. Due to the way found in which Intel CPUs handle inconsistency between virtual to physical memory address translations in CPU’s local cache and system software’s Paging structure entries, a privileged guest user may use this flaw to induce a hardware Machine Check Error on the host processor, resulting in a severe DoS scenario by halting the processor.
