[PATCH 4.14 03/72] aio: fix spectre gadget in lookup_ioctx

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a538e3ff9dabcdf6c3f477a373c629213d1c3066 upstream.

Matthew pointed out that the ioctx_table is susceptible to spectre v1,
because the index can be controlled by an attacker.  The below patch
should mitigate the attack for all of the aio system calls.
