Description
The paravirt_ops_setup function in arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18 uses an improper paravirt_enabled setting for KVM guest kernels, which makes it easier for guest OS users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a 16-bit value.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (<= 3.18)
• canonical ubuntu linux 12.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 14.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 16.04
• opensuse evergreen 11.4
• opensuse opensuse 13.1
• suse suse linux enterprise server 11
