Message-ID: <20160705151224.0041da3d@tomh> X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.13.2 (GTK+ 2.24.30; x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I submitted this fedora bugzilla recently: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352325 Among other things, it shows a Windows 10 KVM virtual machine causing strange side effects back on the fedora 24 host, which sure seems like the sort of thing that might be a security issue. After reading all about how 4.6 is the most secure linux release ever, yet having this bug crop up only on the 4.6 kernel, I just thought I'd ask if it seems like a potential security problem to anyone else? (Plus if it really is a security issue, maybe I'll get dozens of experts jumping on it to fix it :-).
