If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini commit a430c9166312e1aa3d80bce32374233bdbfeba32 upstream. 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.
