CVE-2013-1935

Status Candidate

Overview

A certain Red Hat patch to the KVM subsystem in the kernel package before 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 does not properly implement the PV EOI feature, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging a time window during which interrupts are disabled but copy_to_user function calls are possible.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0911-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0911-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way KVM initialized a guest's registered pv_eoi indication flag when entering the guest. An unprivileged guest user could potentially use this flaw to crash the host. A missing sanity check was found in the kvm_set_memory_region() function in KVM, allowing a user-space process to register memory regions pointing to the kernel address space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
