Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls<br />
<br />
Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because translate_nested_gpa()<br />
is only valid if an L2 guest is running *with nested EPT/NPT enabled*.<br />
Instead use the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself.
