Description
The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-3601.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (<= 3.17.2)
• debian debian linux 7.0
• opensuse evergreen 11.4
• suse linux enterprise real time extension 11
• suse suse linux enterprise server 11
