+Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Fix bounds checking in ioapic indirect register reads
+ (CVE-2013-1798)
+
+If the guest specifies a IOAPIC_REG_SELECT with an invalid value and follows
+that with a read of the IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW KVM does not properly validate
+that request.  ioapic_read_indirect contains an
+ASSERT(redir_index < IOAPIC_NUM_PINS), but the ASSERT has no effect in
+non-debug builds.  In recent kernels this allows a guest to cause a kernel
+oops by reading invalid memory.  In older kernels (pre-3.3) this allows a
+guest to read from large ranges of host memory.
+
+Tested: tested against apic unit tests.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: x86: fix for buffer overflow in handling of
+ MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME (CVE-2013-1796)
+
+If the guest sets the GPA of the time_page so that the request to update the
+time straddles a page then KVM will write onto an incorrect page.  The
+write is done byusing kmap atomic to get a pointer to the page for the time
+structure and then performing a memcpy to that page starting at an offset
+that the guest controls.  Well behaved guests always provide a 32-byte aligned
+address, however a malicious guest could use this to corrupt host kernel
+memory.
+
+Tested: Tested against kvmclock unit test.

+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: Convert MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME to use
+ gfn_to_hva_cache functions (CVE-2013-1797)
+
+There is a potential use after free issue with the handling of
+MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME.  If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable
+memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that
+address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION.  KVM pins
+the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user
+space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then
+the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.
