"An out-of-bounds access issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM
hypervisor implements the Coalesced MMIO write operation. It operates
on an MMIO ring buffer 'struct kvm_coalesced_mmio' object, wherein
write indices 'ring->first' and 'ring->last' value could be supplied
by a host user-space process. An unprivileged host user or process
with access to '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the host
kernel, resulting in a denial of service or potentially escalating
privileges on the system.(CVE-2019-14821)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's vhost
functionality that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the
buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to
pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is
underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the
host.(CVE-2019-14835)");
