From 7999f7fc5b2ca4c0b2a96b7fb3dfa4e30274da27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Mattson Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 13:02:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
