Revision c300aa64ddf57d9c5d9c898a64b36877345dd4a9 authored by Andy Honig on 11 March 2013, 16:34:52 UTC, committed by Marcelo Tosatti on 19 March 2013, 17:17:31 UTC
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.
