kvm: x86: use correct privilege level for sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor ac…
…cess commit 3c9fa24 upstream. The functions that were used in the emulation of fxrstor, fxsave, sgdt and sidt were originally meant for task switching, and as such they did not check privilege levels. This is very bad when the same functions are used in the emulation of unprivileged instructions. This is CVE-2018-10853. The obvious fix is to add a new argument to ops->read_std and ops->write_std, which decides whether the access is a "system" access or should use the processor's CPL. Fixes: 129a72a ("KVM: x86: Introduce segmented_write_std", 2017-01-12) Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
