From e43790b11b6868bcea8fab59db0f9294442d6884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:54:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: emulate: avoid accessing NULL ctxt->memopp A failure to decode the instruction can cause a NULL pointer access. This is fixed simply by moving the "done" label as close as possible to the return. This fixes CVE-2014-8481.
