CVE-2018-10901
highpriority · track · 31EPSS 0.005 · 44 %ileDEEURUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-27
A flaw was found in Linux kernel's KVM virtualization subsystem. The VMX code does not restore the GDT.LIMIT to the previous host value, but instead sets it to 64KB. With a corrupted GDT limit a host's userspace code has an ability to place malicious entries in the GDT, particularly to the per-cpu variables. An attacker can use this to escalate their privileges.
