Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Add array_index_nospec() to evmcs_field_offset()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 19:13:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023171307.636760-1-amirmohammad.eftekhar@cispa.de> (raw)

From: Amirmohammad Eftekhar <amirmohammad.eftekhar@cispa.de>

evmcs_field_offset() bounds-checks the guest-supplied field index against
nr_evmcs_1_fields and then indexes vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[] with it, but,
unlike its vmcs12 counterpart get_vmcs12_field_offset(), it does not clamp
the index with array_index_nospec() after the check.  The field index is
derived from a guest-supplied VMCS field encoding on the enlightened
VMREAD/VMWRITE path, so the array access can be performed speculatively
past the bounds check (Spectre v1), disclosing memory adjacent to
vmcs_field_to_evmcs_1[].

Clamp the index with array_index_nospec() immediately after the bounds
check, mirroring get_vmcs12_field_offset().
