[PATCH] HID: hiddev: fix potential Spectre v1

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

 



uref->usage_index can be indirectly controlled by userspace, hence leading
to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This problem might show up in the cmd = HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX flow at function
hiddev_ioctl_usage(), where uref->usage_index is compared to field->maxusage
and then used as an index to dereference field->usage array.

This is a summary of the current flow, which matches the traditional
Spectre V1 issue:

	copy_from_user(uref, user_arg, sizeof(*uref))
	if (uref->usage_index >= field->maxusage)
		goto inval;
	i = field->usage[uref->usage_index].collection_index;
	return i;

This patch fixes this by sanitizing field uref->usage_index before using it to
index field->usage, thus, avoiding speculation in the first load.
