Subject: [ 003/173] KVM: x86: invalid opcode oops on SET_SREGS with OSXSAVE bit set
 (CVE-2012-4461)

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Petr Matousek <pmatouse@...hat.com>

commit 6d1068b3a98519247d8ba4ec85cd40ac136dbdf9 upstream.

On hosts without the XSAVE support unprivileged local user can trigger
oops similar to the one below by setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit in guest
cr4 register using KVM_SET_SREGS ioctl and later issuing KVM_RUN
ioctl.

QEMU first retrieves the supported features via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
and then sets them later. So guest's X86_FEATURE_XSAVE should be masked
out on hosts without X86_FEATURE_XSAVE, making kvm_set_cr4 with
X86_CR4_OSXSAVE fail. Userspaces that allow specifying guest cpuid with
X86_FEATURE_XSAVE even on hosts that do not support it, might be
susceptible to this attack from inside the guest as well.

Allow setting X86_CR4_OSXSAVE bit only if host has XSAVE support.
