Message-Id: <1414163245-18555-11-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 17:07:21 +0200 From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, kvm@...r.kernel.org Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 10/14] KVM: emulate: avoid accessing NULL ctxt->memopp A failure to decode the instruction can cause a NULL pointer access. This is fixed simply by moving the "done" label as close as possible to the return. This fixes CVE-2014-8481.
