Subject: [PATCH] net: atm: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 15:57:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190415205723.GA31452@embeddedor> (raw)

arg is 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:

net/atm/lec.c:715 lec_mcast_attach() warn: potential spectre issue 'dev_lec' [r] (local cap)

Fix this by sanitizing arg before using it to index dev_lec.

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].
