Details

The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.6.9, when running on hosts that use qemu userspace without XSAVE, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) by using the KVMSETSREGS ioctl to set the X86CR4OSXSAVE bit in the guest cr4 register, then calling the KVM_RUN ioctl.
