Bug description:
  The paravirt_ops_setup function in arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c in the Linux
  kernel through 3.18 uses an improper paravirt_enabled setting for KVM
  guest kernels, which makes it easier for guest OS users to bypass the
  ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application that reads a
  16-bit value.
