EulerOS Virtualization 2.5.0 : kvm (EulerOS-SA-2018-1264)

high Nessus Plugin ID 117573

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the kvm package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - On x86, MOV SS and POP SS behave strangely if they encounter a data breakpoint. If this occurs in a KVM guest, KVM incorrectly thinks that a #DB instruction was caused by the undocumented ICEBP instruction. This results in #DB being delivered to the guest kernel with an incorrect RIP on the stack. On most guest kernels, this will allow a guest user to DoS the guest kernel or even to escalate privilege to that of the guest kernel.
 (CVE-2018-1087)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected kvm package.
