Subject: misc: fastrpc: restrict user apps from sending kernel RPC messages
From: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 20c40794eb85ea29852d7bc37c55713802a543d6 upstream.
Verify that user applications are not using the kernel RPC message
handle to restrict them from directly attaching to guest OS on the
remote subsystem. This is a port of CVE-2019-2308 fix.
Fixes: c68cfb718c8f ("misc: fastrpc: Add support for context Invoke method")
