In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nVMX: Move vTPR vs. TPR Threshold consistency check into "normal" checks
Move the off-by-default consistency check for vmcs12.tpr_threshold vs. the virtual APIC vTPR into the "normal" controls checks, as waiting until KVM has loaded some amount of state is unnecessary and actively dangerous. Specifically, failure to unwind vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 to KVM's value when EPT is disabled results in KVM running L1 with an L1-controlled CR3, not with KVM's CR3!
Alternatively, KVM could simply reset the MMU to force a reload of vmcs01.GUEST_CR3, but the only reason the check was shoved into a "late" flow was to wait until the vmcs12 pages were retrieved. Rather than build up more crusty code, simply access vTPR using a regular guest memory access (performance isn't a concern).
