  Hello,

A guest to host DoS issue was found affecting various hypervisors. In that, a 
a guest can DoS the host by triggering an infinite stream of "debug check" 
(#DB) exceptions. This causes the microcode to enter an infinite loop where 
the core never receives another interrupt. The host kernel panics due to this 
effect.
