Subject: [PATCH 4.4 67/69] kvm: x86: Check memopp before dereference (CVE-2016-8630)

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

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

From: Owen Hofmann <osh@...gle.com>

commit d9092f52d7e61dd1557f2db2400ddb430e85937e upstream.

Commit 41061cdb98 ("KVM: emulate: do not initialize memopp") removes a
check for non-NULL under incorrect assumptions. An undefined instruction
with a ModR/M byte with Mod=0 and R/M-5 (e.g. 0xc7 0x15) will attempt
to dereference a null pointer here.

Fixes: 41061cdb98a0bec464278b4db8e894a3121671f5
