CVE-2014-0055 (CCN-92091)

Assigned:2013-12-03
Published:2014-03-25
Updated:2019-04-22
Summary:The get_rx_bufs function in drivers/vhost/net.c in the vhost-net subsystem in the Linux kernel package before 2.6.32-431.11.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 does not properly handle vhost_get_vq_desc errors, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via unspecified vectors.
