This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpio: prevent potential speculation leaks in gpio_device_get_desc() to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gpio-prevent-potential-speculation-leaks-in-gpio_dev.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b7546dc9b1ff0ae8a3dd7d0feca3a9314c6fb089 Author: Hagar Hemdan <hagarhem@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 23 08:53:32 2024 +0000 gpio: prevent potential speculation leaks in gpio_device_get_desc() [ Upstream commit d795848ecce24a75dfd46481aee066ae6fe39775 ] Userspace may trigger a speculative read of an address outside the gpio descriptor array. Users can do that by calling gpio_ioctl() with an offset out of range. Offset is copied from user and then used as an array index to get the gpio descriptor without sanitization in gpio_device_get_desc(). This change ensures that the offset is sanitized by using array_index_nospec() to mitigate any possibility of speculative information leaks.
