CVE-2013-5634

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.10

Description The issue affects the Linux kernel on the ARM platform when KVM is used, allowing host OS users to cause a denial of service, including a NULL pointer dereference, OOPS, and host OS crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts by omitting vCPU initialization before a KVM GET REG LIST ioctl call.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.10, ensure proper vCPU initialization before making a KVM GET REG LIST ioctl call to prevent potential denial of service or other impacts.
