I saw what is likely a related issue on one of our AWS EC2 instances, where exactly at midnight UTC there was a high percentage of 'steal' CPU time in our server monitoring charts.

I wonder if this was caused by another VM on the same physical box being hit by the bug and as a result stole CPU time from our VM.

I resolved the issue by moving to a different VM (Rebooting didn't help), to get away from my greedy neighbor.
