[ Upstream commit f0950402e8c76e7dcb08563f1b4e8000fbc62455 ]
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core netlink functions.
Fixes: bfa83a9e03cf ("[NETLINK]: Type-safe netlink messages/attributes interface")
