KVM: Fix bounds checking in ioapic indirect register reads (CVE-2013-…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…1798)

If the guest specifies a IOAPIC_REG_SELECT with an invalid value and follows
that with a read of the IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW KVM does not properly validate
that request.  ioapic_read_indirect contains an
ASSERT(redir_index < IOAPIC_NUM_PINS), but the ASSERT has no effect in
non-debug builds.  In recent kernels this allows a guest to cause a kernel
oops by reading invalid memory.  In older kernels (pre-3.3) this allows a
guest to read from large ranges of host memory.

Tested: tested against apic unit tests.
