[PATCH v3 2/2] KVM: x86: Add limit check to IDT in __emulate_int_real()
From: Kayra Cizmeci
Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 09:45:46 EST
Currently there are no limit check at __emulate_int_real(),
and normally greater numbers than the IDT limits needs to
cause a #GP, but currently there is no limit check for doing that.
So add a limit check for IDT to catch greater numbers than the IDT
limit and if the number is greater than the IDT limit inject a #GP.
