Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: fix possible Spectre V1 indexing in __close_fd()
Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2018 06:26:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181224142642.7385-1-ghackmann@android.com> (raw)
Omer Tripp's analysis of a Spectre V1 gadget in __close_fd():
"1. __close_fd() is reachable via the close() syscall with a
user-controlled fd.
2. If said bounds check is mispredicted, then a user-controlled
address fdt->fd[fd] is obtained then dereferenced, and the value of
a user-controlled address is loaded into the local variable file.
3. file is then passed as an argument to filp_close, where the cache
lines secret + offsetof(f_op) and secret + offsetof(f_mode) are hot
and vulnerable to a timing channel attack."
Address this by using array_index_nospec() to prevent speculation past
the end of current->fdt.
