The ntpd client in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p4 and 4.3.x before 4.3.77 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a number of crafted "KOD" messages.

A flaw was found in the way NTP handled rate limiting. An attacker able to send a large number of crafted requests to an NTP server could trigger the rate limiting on that server, and prevent clients from getting a usable reply from the server.

The default NTP configuration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not enable rate limiting.

QEMU does not properly restrict write access to the PCI config space for certain PCI pass-through devices, which might allow local x86 HVM guests to gain privileges, cause a denial of service (host crash), obtain sensitive information, or possibly have other unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

The paginginvlpg function in include/asm-x86/paging.h in Xen 3.3.x through 4.6.x, when using shadow mode paging or nested virtualization is enabled, allows local HVM guest users to cause a denial of service (host crash) via a non-canonical guest address in an INVVPID instruction, which triggers a hypervisor bug check.
