Subject: [ 07/23] KVM: x86: fix for buffer overflow in handling of MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME (CVE-2013-1796)
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:56:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130423215457.061810094@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130423215456.307216898@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com>
commit c300aa64ddf57d9c5d9c898a64b36877345dd4a9 upstream.
If the guest sets the GPA of the time_page so that the request to update the
time straddles a page then KVM will write onto an incorrect page. The
write is done byusing kmap atomic to get a pointer to the page for the time
structure and then performing a memcpy to that page starting at an offset
that the guest controls. Well behaved guests always provide a 32-byte aligned
address, however a malicious guest could use this to corrupt host kernel
memory.
Tested: Tested against kvmclock unit test.
