The commit introduced the bug is 541ab2aeb282, it has been backported to at least stable 4.14.145+ and 4.19.74+, to fix it, just check the exception not NULL before do the memset. The fix should go to stable.

Fixes 541ab2aeb282 ("KVM: x86: work around leak of uninitialized stack contents")

---
I did the kvm-unit-tests on top of 4.19.77, it no longer crash with the fix, and it applies cleanly to v5.4-rc2.

Hi Jack,

instead of this, commit f7eea636c3d5 ("KVM: nVMX: handle page fault in vmread", 2019-09-14) should be backported to stable.

Thanks,

Hi Jack,

instead of this, commit f7eea636c3d5 ("KVM: nVMX: handle page fault in vmread", 2019-09-14) should be backported to stable.

Ok, just checked looks it's a mistake during backport, I will send a fix only to stable.
