Description
The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 3.17.2)
• canonical ubuntu linux 10.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 12.04
• debian debian linux 7.0
