Subject: [PATCH 3.12 150/235] KVM: x86: fix emulation of "MOV SS, null selector"

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

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

===============

commit 33ab91103b3415e12457e3104f0e4517ce12d0f3 upstream.

This is CVE-2017-2583.  On Intel this causes a failed vmentry because
SS's type is neither 3 nor 7 (even though the manual says this check is
only done for usable SS, and the dmesg splat says that SS is unusable!).
On AMD it's worse: svm.c is confused and sets CPL to 0 in the vmcb.

The fix fabricates a data segment descriptor when SS is set to a null
selector, so that CPL and SS.DPL are set correctly in the VMCS/vmcb.
Furthermore, only allow setting SS to a NULL selector if SS.RPL < 3;
this in turn ensures CPL < 3 because RPL must be equal to CPL.

Thanks to Andy Lutomirski and Willy Tarreau for help in analyzing
the bug and deciphering the manuals.

[js] backport to 3.12
