[PATCH 4.9 09/61] aio: fix spectre gadget in lookup_ioctx

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Dec 20 2018 - 04:42:39 EST


4.9-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.
