From 2febc839133280d5a5e8e1179c94ea674489dae2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Honig Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:42:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Improve thread safety in pit There's a race condition in the PIT emulation code in KVM. In __kvm_migrate_pit_timer the pit_timer object is accessed without synchronization. If the race condition occurs at the wrong time this can crash the host kernel. This fixes CVE-2014-3611.
