From: Jim Mattson Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 20:02:54 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kvm: nVMX: Don't allow L2 to access the hardware CR8 X-Git-Tag: v3.18.73~7 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6ad74630c016ef823f2720671ee4db641d35fd2c;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git kvm: nVMX: Don't allow L2 to access the hardware CR8 commit 51aa68e7d57e3217192d88ce90fd5b8ef29ec94f upstream. If L1 does not specify the "use TPR shadow" VM-execution control in vmcs12, then L0 must specify the "CR8-load exiting" and "CR8-store exiting" VM-execution controls in vmcs02. Failure to do so will give the L2 VM unrestricted read/write access to the hardware CR8. This fixes CVE-2017-12154.
