[v2.7] kernel: kvm: arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and INVEPT instruction DoS (CVE-2014-3645)
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.12 does not have an exit handler for the INVEPT instruction, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application.
Only 3.10.y should be checked if vulnerable. A commit for this branch have not been found at the moment.
