Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux' package(s) announced via the USN-6699-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did not properly validate control registers in certain situations.
