{

"value": "For XSA-308 logic was introduced, as VMX VMEntry checks do not like the\nexact combination of state which occurs when #DB in intercepted, Single\nStepping is active, and blocked by STI/MovSS is active, despite this being\na legitimate state to be in. The resulting VMEntry failure is fatal to\nthe guest.\n\nSadly there is another special sub-case of the above, with branch tracing\nenabled. In that case the prior adjustment would still cause a VMentry\nfailure, as before fatal to the guest."
