Quote from the upstream commit: "The number of entries is multiplied by the entry size, which can overflow on 32-bit hosts. Bound the entry count instead." if (cpuid->nent < 1) goto out; + if (cpuid->nent > KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES) + cpuid->nent = KVM_MAX_CPUID_ENTRIES; r = -ENOMEM; cpuid_entries = vmalloc(sizeof(struct kvm_cpuid_entry2) * cpuid->nent); if (!cpuid_entries) This one can be triggered if /dev/kvm is user accessible (which is recommended...). This was introduced in v2.6.25-rc1, and fixed in v2.6.32-rc4. Only on 32-bit host.
