| Revision Date: | 2018-05-10 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2018-1118 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - low. | | Description: | Linux kernel vhost since version 4.8 does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg() function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file. It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
