[PATCH 1/3] ext4: super: Fix spectre gadget in ext4_quota_on

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

 



'type' is a user-controlled value used to index into 's_qf_names', which
can be used in a Spectre v1 attack. Clamp 'type' to the size of the
array to avoid a speculative out-of-bounds read.
