Subject: x86: don't allow page table updates on non-PV page tables in do_mmu_update()
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~4086
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4292c5aac41b80f33d4877104348d5ee7c95aa4;p=xen.git

x86: don't allow page table updates on non-PV page tables in do_mmu_update()

paging_write_guest_entry() and paging_cmpxchg_guest_entry() aren't
consistently supported for non-PV guests (they'd deref NULL for PVH or
non-HAP HVM ones). Don't allow respective MMU_* operations on the
page tables of such domains.

This is CVE-2014-8594 / XSA-109.
