FKIE_CVE-2014-3601
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2014-09-01 01:55 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:08
Severity
Summary
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.
