[patch 009/108] KVM: x86: check for cr3 validity in ioctl_set_sregs

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 59839dfff5eabca01cc4e20b45797a60a80af8cb upstream.

Matt T. Yourst notes that kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs lacks validity
checking for the new cr3 value:

"Userspace callers of KVM_SET_SREGS can pass a bogus value of cr3 to
the kernel. This will trigger a NULL pointer access in gfn_to_rmap()
when userspace next tries to call KVM_RUN on the affected VCPU and kvm
attempts to activate the new non-existent page table root.

This happens since kvm only validates that cr3 points to a valid guest
physical memory page when code *inside* the guest sets cr3. However, kvm
currently trusts the userspace caller (e.g. QEMU) on the host machine to
always supply a valid page table root, rather than properly validating
it along with the rest of the reloaded guest state."

Check for a valid cr3 address in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs, triple
fault in case of failure.
