The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure, and hypervisor hang or crash) via an out-of bounds guest_irq value, related to arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c and virt/kvm/eventfd.c.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
