From efa61c8cf2950ab5c0e66cff3cabe2a2b24e81ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:06:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ptp: fix Spectre v1 vulnerability pin_index can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/ptp/ptp_chardev.c:253 ptp_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'ops->pin_config' [r] (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing pin_index before using it to index ops->pin_config, and before passing it as an argument to function ptp_set_pinfunc(), in which it is used to index info->pin_config. Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
