Title:DSA-1846-1 kvm -- denial of service
Description:Matt T. Yourst discovered an issue in the kvm subsystem. Local users with permission to manipulate /dev/kvm can cause a denial of service by providing an invalid cr3 value to the KVM_SET_SREGS call. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 72+dfsg-5~lenny2. For the unstable distribution, these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your kvm packages, and rebuild any kernel modules you have built from a kvm-source package version.
