4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Breno Leitao <leitao@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f11274396a538b31bc010f782e05c2ce3f804c13 upstream. uref->usage_index can be indirectly controlled by userspace, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This field is used as an array index by the hiddev_ioctl_usage() function, when 'cmd' is either HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX, HIDIOCGUSAGES or HIDIOCSUSAGES. For cmd == HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX case, uref->usage_index is compared to field->maxusage and then used as an index to dereference field->usage array. The same thing happens to the cmd == HIDIOC{G,S}USAGES cases, where uref->usage_index is checked against an array maximum value and then it is used as an index in an array. This is a summary of the HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX case, which matches the traditional Spectre V1 first load: 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 (HIDIOCGCOLLECTIONINDEX) or field->value in HIDIOC{G,S}USAGES arrays, thus, avoiding speculation in the first load.
