From: Marc Orr <marcorr@xxxxxxxxxx>
The nested_vmx_prepare_msr_bitmap() function doesn't directly guard the
x2APIC MSR intercepts with the "virtualize x2APIC mode" MSR. As a
result, we discovered the potential for a buggy or malicious L1 to get
access to L0's x2APIC MSRs, via an L2, as follows.
1. L1 executes WRMSR(IA32_SPEC_CTRL, 1). This causes the spec_ctrl
variable, in nested_vmx_prepare_msr_bitmap() to become true.
2. L1 disables "virtualize x2APIC mode" in VMCS12.
3. L1 enables "APIC-register virtualization" in VMCS12.
Now, KVM will set VMCS02's x2APIC MSR intercepts from VMCS12, and then
set "virtualize x2APIC mode" to 0 in VMCS02. Oops.
This patch closes the leak by explicitly guarding VMCS02's x2APIC MSR
intercepts with VMCS12's "virtualize x2APIC mode" control.
The scenario outlined above and fix prescribed here, were verified with
a related patch in kvm-unit-tests titled "Add leak scenario to
virt_x2apic_mode_test".
Note, it looks like this issue may have been introduced inadvertently
during a merge---see 15303ba5d1cd.
