CVE-2014-3601
Last modified
CVE-2014-3601 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1) cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a large gfn value or (2) cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by triggering a small gfn value that leads to permanently pinned pages.. EPSS estimates a 1.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
