Description Johannes Segitz 2014-11-13 15:03:21 UTC 
rh#1163762

It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space can lead to either
local or L2->L1 DoS.

In the case of local DoS attacker needs access to MMIO area or be able to
generate port access. Please note that on certain systems HPET is mapped
to userspace as part of vdso (vvar) and thus an unprivileged user may
generate MMIO transactions (and enter the emulator) this way.
