[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: x86/xen: Restrict hypercall MSR index

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

 



Harden KVM against goofy userspace by restricting the Xen hypercall MSR
index to the de facto standard synthetic range, 0x40000000 - 0x4fffffff.
This obviously has the potential to break userspace, but I'm fairly confident
it'll be fine (knock wood), and doing nothing is not an option as letting
userspace redirect any WRMSR is at best completely broken.

Patches 2-5 are tangentially related cleanups.

v2:
 - Collect reviews. [Paul, David]
 - Add proper #defines for the range. [David]
 - Drop the syzkaller/stable tags (rely on disallow host writes to fix the
   syzkaller splat]. David

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250201011400.669483-1-seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx
