CVSS 3.1
7.7 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2019-3900
High (7.7). EPSS 4.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
An infinite loop issue was found in the vhost_net kernel module in Linux Kernel up to and including v5.1-rc6, while handling incoming packets in handle_rx(). It could occur if one end sends packets faster than the other end can process them. A guest user, maybe remote one, could use this flaw to stall the vhost_net kernel thread, resulting in a DoS scenario.
