    KVM: x86: invalid opcode oops on SET_SREGS with OSXSAVE bit set (CVE-2012-4461) · 6d1068b3
    Petr Matousek authored
    On hosts without the XSAVE support unprivileged local user can trigger
    oops similar to the one below by setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit in guest
    cr4 register using KVM_SET_SREGS ioctl and later issuing KVM_RUN
    ioctl.

    QEMU first retrieves the supported features via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
    and then sets them later. So guest's X86_FEATURE_XSAVE should be masked
    out on hosts without X86_FEATURE_XSAVE, making kvm_set_cr4 with
    X86_CR4_OSXSAVE fail. Userspaces that allow specifying guest cpuid with
    X86_FEATURE_XSAVE even on hosts that do not support it, might be
    susceptible to this attack from inside the guest as well.
    
    Allow setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit only if host has XSAVE support.
