[PATCH 01/11] media: tm6000: fix potential Spectre variant 1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



f->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/usb/tm6000/tm6000-video.c:879 vidioc_enum_fmt_vid_cap() warn: potential spectre issue 'format'

Fix this by sanitizing f->index before using it to index
array _format_

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].
