NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-modules-core package and not the kernel-64k-debug-modules-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in KVM. An improper check in svm_set_x2apic_msr_interception() may allow direct access to host x2apic msrs when the guest resets its apic, potentially leading to a denial of service condition.
