Hello,

     This is Xiao Lei, Gaoning Pan and Yongkang Jia from Zhejiang University. We found a 'WARNING in handle_exception_nmi' bug by syzkaller. This flaw allows a malicious user in a local DoS condition. The following program triggers Local DoS at arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c:4959 in latest release linux-5.18.5, this bug can be reproducible stably by the C reproducer:


FWIW a similarly-looking issue was reported by syzbot:

Sean said it may be an issue in L0 kernel rather than in the tested kernel:

Indeed I cannot reproduce these either on bare metal.
