+Subject: KVM: x86: fix emulation of "MOV SS, null selector"
+
+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.
