[PATCH 43/54] KVM: MMU: Set nx bit correctly on shadow ptes

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Jan 01 2008 - 10:49:35 EST


While the page table walker correctly generates a guest page fault
if a guest tries to execute a non-executable page, the shadow code does
not mark it non-executable. This means that if a guest accesses an nx
page first with a read access, then subsequent code fetch accesses will
succeed.

Fix by setting the nx bit on shadow ptes.
