Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: VMX: Fix %ds/%es clobber
Date: Sun, 13 May 2012 19:53:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336928004-6366-2-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336928004-6366-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>
The vmx exit code unconditionally restores %ds and %es to __USER_DS. This
can override the user's values, since %ds and %es are not saved and restored
in x86_64 syscalls. In practice, this isn't dangerous since nobody uses
segment registers in long mode, least of all programs that use KVM.
