KVM: VMX: fix use after free of vmx->loaded_vmcs
commit 26a865f4aa8e66a6d94958de7656f7f1b03c6c56 upstream. After free_loaded_vmcs executes, the "loaded_vmcs" structure is kfreed, and now vmx->loaded_vmcs points to a kfreed area. Subsequent free_loaded_vmcs then attempts to manipulate vmx->loaded_vmcs. Switch the order to avoid the problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047892 Reviewed-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
