Security Discussion

Linux Kernel is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability that affects the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).



Local attackers can exploit this issue to run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Failed exploit attempts can result in a denial-of-service condition.

Proof of Concept and Security Exploits

Currently we are not aware of any exploits. If you feel we are in error or if you are aware of more recent information, please mail us at: vuldb@securityfocus.com.
