Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
The host is installed with Linux kernel through 3.17.2 and is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which does not properly handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a model-specific register. Successful exploitation allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges.
