GHSA-GQH3-J9FF-5G88

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 04:02 – Updated: 2022-05-14 04:02

Details

The create_pit_timer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in KVM 83, and possibly other versions, does not properly handle when Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) interrupt requests (IRQs) when a virtual interrupt controller (irqchip) is not available, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by starting a timer.
