Subject: [PATCH] atm: zatm: Fix potential Spectre v1
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 13:28:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180629182807.GA26287@embeddedor.com> (raw)
pool can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
drivers/atm/zatm.c:1491 zatm_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue
'zatm_dev->pool_info' (local cap)
Fix this by sanitizing pool before using it to index
zatm_dev->pool_info
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].
