CVE-2009-3638 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3638):
  Integer overflow in the kvm_dev_ioctl_get_supported_cpuid function in
  arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.31.4 allows local users to have an unspecified impact via a
  KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID request to the kvm_arch_dev_ioctl function.
