[PATCH 5.1 298/371] KVM: nVMX: Dont dump VMCS if virtual APIC page cant be mapped

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

 



From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 73cb85568433feadb79e963bf2efba9b3e9ae3df upstream.

... as a malicious userspace can run a toy guest to generate invalid
virtual-APIC page addresses in L1, i.e. flood the kernel log with error
messages.
