NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kvm-debuginfo package and not the kvm-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The pit_ioport_read function in the Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) emulation in i8254.c in KVM 83 does not properly use the pit_state data structure, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash or hang) by attempting to read the /dev/port file.
