[PATCH 0/6] KVM: nVMX: propperly handle enlightened vmptrld failure conditions

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

 



Miaohe Lin noticed that we incorrectly handle enlightened vmptrld failures
in nested_vmx_run(). Trying to handle errors correctly, I fixed
a few things:
- NULL pointer dereference with invalid eVMCS GPAs [PATCH1]
- moved eVMCS mapping after migration to nested_get_vmcs12_pages() from
  nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() [PATCH2]
- added propper nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld() error handling
  [PATCH3]
- added selftests for incorrect eVMCS revision id and GPA [PATCHes4-6]

PATCH1 fixes a DoS and thus marked for stable@.

  KVM: nVMX: avoid NULL pointer dereference with incorrect EVMCS GPAs
  KVM: nVMX: stop abusing need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync for eVMCS mapping
  KVM: nVMX: properly handle errors in
    nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld()
  KVM: selftests: define and use EVMCS_VERSION
  KVM: selftests: test enlightened vmenter with wrong eVMCS version
  KVM: selftests: enlightened VMPTRLD with an incorrect GPA
