From: Mihai Donțu <mdo...@bitdefender.com>
It can happened to end up emulating the VMCALL instruction as a result
of the handling of an EPT write fault. In this situation,
the emulator will try to unconditionally patch the correct hypercall
opcode bytes using emulator_write_emulated(). However, this last call
uses the fault GPA (if available) or walks the guest page tables at RIP,
otherwise. The trouble begins when using VM introspection,
when we forbid the use of the fault GPA and fallback to the guest pt walk:
in Windows (8.1 and newer) the page that we try to write into
is marked read-execute and as such emulator_write_emulated() fails
and we inject a write #PF, leading to a guest crash.
