CVE-2018-15746

Published: 29 August 2018

qemu-seccomp.c in QEMU might allow local OS guest users to cause a denial of service (guest crash) by leveraging mishandling of the seccomp policy for threads other than the main thread.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
we will not be fixing this issue on trusty and xenial. trust
lacks a recent kernel and seccomp version and xenial uses a
whitelist based approach instead of a blacklist. Fixing this
in xenial is likely to cause regressions.
