CVE-2010-3698: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36 does not properly reload the FS and GS segment registers, which allows host OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a KVM_RUN ioctl call in conjunction with a modified Local Descriptor Table (LDT).

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 13 only
• Linux Linux Kernel: before 2.6.36 (fixed in 2.6.36)
