+Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Improve create VCPU parameter
+Date:	Thu, 12 Dec 2013 21:36:51 +0100
+Message-Id: <1386880614-23300-1-git-send-email-pbonzini at redhat.com>
+X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.8.3.1

+From: Andy Honig <ahonig at google.com>
+
+In multiple functions the vcpu_id is used as an offset into a bitfield.  Ag
+malicious user could specify a vcpu_id greater than 255 in order to set or
+clear bits in kernel memory.  This could be used to elevate priveges in the
+kernel.  This patch verifies that the vcpu_id provided is less than 255.
+The api documentation already specifies that the vcpu_id must be less than
+max_vcpus, but this is currently not checked.
