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.
