[PATCH 5.10 110/118] KVM: x86: emulator: em_sysexit should update ctxt->mode

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

 



From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5015bb89b58225f97df6ac44383e7e8c8662c8c9 upstream.

SYSEXIT is one of the instructions that can change the
processor mode, thus ctxt->mode should be updated after it.

Note that this is likely a benign bug, because the only problematic
mode change is from 32 bit to 64 bit which can lead to truncation of RIP,
and it is not possible to do with sysexit,
since sysexit running in 32 bit mode will be limited to 32 bit version.
