Description

A flaw was found in KVM in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs due to improper validation of memory management unit (MMU) page roots after these pages are made available. An attacker could exploit this by triggering a scenario where KVM attempts to map memory into an invalid root, causing child shadow pages to inherit an invalid state. This violates KVM's internal integrity rules, potentially leading to system instability or a denial of service within the virtualized environment.
