CVE-2013-6376
The recalculate_apic_map function in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a crafted ICR write operation in x2apic mode.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
