4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jinbum Park <jinb.park7@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 55690c07b44a82cc3359ce0c233f4ba7d80ba145 ] User controls @dev_minor which to be used as index of pkt_devs. So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution) This kind of attack leaks address of pkt_devs, [1] It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR. So sanitize @dev_minor before using it to prevent attack.
