KVM: VMX: fix use after free of vmx->loaded_vmcs

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

 



After free_loaded_vmcs executes, the "loaded_vmcs" structure 
is kfreed, and now vmx->loaded_vmcs points to a kfreed area. 
Subsequent free_loaded_vmcs then attempts to manipulate 
vmx->loaded_vmcs.

Switch the order to avoid the problem.
