[PATCH 1/2] net: socket: fix potential spectre v1 gadget in socketcall

From: Jeremy Cline
Date: Fri Jul 27 2018 - 18:44:21 EST


'call' is a user-controlled value, so sanitize the array index after the
bounds check to avoid speculating past the bounds of the 'nargs' array.

Found with the help of Smatch:

net/socket.c:2508 __do_sys_socketcall() warn: potential spectre issue
'nargs' [r] (local cap)
