[PATCH] KVM: cpuid: Fix read/write out-of-bounds vulnerability in cpuid emulation

From: Wanpeng Li <hidden>

If "i" is the last element in the vcpu->arch.cpuid_entries[] array, it 
potentially can be exploited the vulnerability. this will out-of-bounds 
read and write the unused memory in host OS.

This patch fixes it by modding the index to avoid the out-of-bounds. At 
the worst case, i == j and ej->function == e->function, the loop can bail
out.

It reads ej->maxphyaddr, which is user controlled.
-			ej->flags |= KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATE_READ_NEXT;
After cpuid_entries there is

        int maxphyaddr;
        struct x86_emulate_ctxt emulate_ctxt;  /* 16-byte aligned */

So indeed we have:

- cpuid_entries at offset 1B50 (6992)
- maxphyaddr at offset 27D0 (6992 + 3200 = 10192)
- padding at 27D4...27DF
- emulate_ctxt at 27E0

So this indeed writes in the padding.  Pfew, writing the ops field of
emulate_ctxt would have been much worse.

Thanks,

Paolo
