Exploitability: 1.8 / Impact: 3.6
Source: NVD
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Prevent RSB underflow before vmenter
On VMX, there are some balanced returns between the time the guest's
SPEC_CTRL value is written, and the vmenter.
Balanced returns (matched by a preceding call) are usually ok, but it's
at least theoretically possible an NMI with a deep call stack could
empty the RSB before one of the returns.
For maximum paranoia, don't allow *any* returns (balanced or otherwise)
between the SPEC_CTRL write and the vmenter.
[ bp: Fix 32-bit build. ]
