[PATCH] kvm: nVMX: VMWRITE checks VMCS-link pointer before VMCS field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to the SDM, a VMWRITE in VMX non-root operation with an
invalid VMCS-link pointer results in VMfailInvalid before the validity
of the VMCS field in the secondary source operand is checked.

Fixes: 6d894f498f5d1 ("KVM: nVMX: vmread/vmwrite: Use shadow vmcs12 if running L2")
