Package        : kvm
Vulnerability  : privilege escalation/denial of service
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2010-0298 CVE-2010-0306 CVE-2010-0309 CVE-2010-0419

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in kvm, a full
virtualization system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

CVE-2010-0298 & CVE-2010-0306

    Gleb Natapov discovered issues in the KVM subsystem where missing
    permission checks (CPL/IOPL) permit a user in a guest system to
    denial of service a guest (system crash) or gain escalated
    privileges with the guest.

CVE-2010-0309

    Marcelo Tosatti fixed an issue in the PIT emulation code in the
    KVM subsystem that allows privileged users in a guest domain to
    cause a denial of service (crash) of the host system.

CVE-2010-0419

    Paolo Bonzini found a bug in KVM that can be used to bypass proper
    permission checking while loading segment selectors. This
    potentially allows privileged guest users to execute privileged
    instructions on the host system.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 72+dfsg-5~lenny5.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), and the unstable distribution (sid),
these problems will be addressed within the linux-2.6 package.

We recommend that you upgrade your kvm package.

Upgrade instructions
- - --------------------

wget url
