[PATCH 5.5 356/367] KVM: x86: Protect exit_reason from being used in Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 10 2020 - 07:48:18 EST


From: Marios Pomonis <pomonis@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c926f2f7230b1a29e31914b51db680f8cbf3103f ]

This fixes a Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerability in vmx_handle_exit().
While exit_reason is set by the hardware and therefore should not be
attacker-influenced, an unknown exit_reason could potentially be used to
perform such an attack.

Fixes: 55d2375e58a6 ("KVM: nVMX: Move nested code to dedicated files")
