+Subject: KVM: nVMX: update last_nonleaf_level when initializing nested EPT
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/fd19d3b45164466a4adce7cbff448ba9189e1427
+Bug-Debian-Security: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-12188
+
+The function updates context->root_level but didn't call
+update_last_nonleaf_level so the previous and potentially wrong value
+was used for page walks.  For example, a zero value of last_nonleaf_level
+would allow a potential out-of-bounds access in arch/x86/mmu/paging_tmpl.h's
+walk_addr_generic function (CVE-2017-12188).
