The ioapic_read_indirect function in virt/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.8.4 does not properly handle a certain combination of invalid
IOAPIC_REG_SELECT and IOAPIC_REG_WINDOW operations, which allows guest OS
users to obtain sensitive information from host OS memory or cause a denial
of service (host OS OOPS) via a crafted application.
