NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ofa-2.6.32-300.11.1.el6uek package and not the ofa-2.6.32-300.11.1.el6uek package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The em_syscall function in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.2.14 does not properly handle the 0f05 (aka syscall) opcode, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application, as demonstrated by an NASM file.
