CVE-2020-36310

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8

Description: An issue in the Linux kernel allows a set memory region test infinite loop for certain nested page faults. This can be exploited to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations: For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.8, update to version 5.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable set memory region test function in arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
