Summary
CVE-2021-4095 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.37.1-2
Details

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the Linux kernel's KVM when dirty ring logging is enabled without an active vCPU context. An unprivileged local attacker on the host may use this flaw to cause a kernel oops condition and thus a denial of service by issuing a KVMXENHVMSETATTR ioctl. This flaw affects Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17-rc1.
