Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Catch potential overrun in MCE setup
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:37:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AE15D1C.30905@siemens.com> (raw)

We only allocate memory for 32 MCE banks (KVM_MAX_MCE_BANKS) but we
allow user space to fill up to 255 on setup (mcg_cap & 0xff), corrupting
kernel memory. Catch these overflows.
