Details

drivers/vfio/pci/vfiopci.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.11 allows local users to bypass integer overflow checks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact, by leveraging access to a vfio PCI device file for a VFIODEVICESETIRQS ioctl call, aka a "state machine confusion bug."
