  Hello,

An out-of-bounds memory write issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled 'KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID' ioctl(2) request to get cpuid features emulated by the KVM hypervisor. A user/process able to access '/dev/kvm' device could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS issue.

It was found by Syzkaller

'CVE-2019-19332' was assigned by Red Hat Inc.

Thank you.
