Vuln ID: CVE-2022-1158

Published:  2022-08-05  17:15:08Z

Description: A flaw was found in KVM. When updating a guest’s page table entry, vm_pgoff was improperly used as the offset to get the page’s pfn. As vaddr and vm_pgoff are controllable by user-mode processes, this flaw allows unprivileged local users on the host to write outside the userspace region and potentially corrupt the kernel, resulting in a denial of service condition.
