** Description changed:

- Similar to CVE-2015-8844, QEMU guests can also modify the same machine
- specific register values via set_one_reg and guests may invoke the same
- unknown state and callpath.
+ The tm_reclaim_thread function in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c in the
+ Linux kernel before 4.4.1 on powerpc platforms does not ensure that TM
+ suspend mode exists before proceeding with a tm_reclaim call, which
+ allows local users to cause a denial of service (TM Bad Thing exception
+ and panic) via a crafted application.
