From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 11:48:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: work around leak of uninitialized stack contents (CVE-2019-7222) Bugzilla: 1671930 Emulation of certain instructions (VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory operand, INVEPT, INVVPID) can incorrectly inject a page fault when passed an operand that points to an MMIO address. The page fault will use uninitialized kernel stack memory as the CR2 and error code. The right behavior would be to abort the VM with a KVM_EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR exit to userspace; however, it is not an easy fix, so for now just ensure that the error code and CR2 are zero. Embargoed until Feb 7th 2019.
