Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
KVM: SVM: Don&#39;t BUG if userspace injects an interrupt with GIF=0<br />
<br />
Don&#39;t BUG/WARN on interrupt injection due to GIF being cleared,<br />
since it&#39;s trivial for userspace to force the situation via<br />
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if having at least a WARN there would be correct<br />
for KVM internally generated injections).<br />
<br />
