** Description changed:

- NULL pointer dereference
+ The instruction decoder in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in
+ the Linux kernel before 3.18-rc2 lacks intended decoder-table flags for
+ certain RIP-relative instructions, which allows guest OS users to cause a
+ denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and host OS crash) via a
+ crafted application.
