[PATCH v3] pktcdvd: Fix possible Spectre-v1 for pkt_devs
From: Jinbum Park
Date: Sat Jul 28 2018 - 00:21:10 EST
User controls @dev_minor which to be used as index of pkt_devs.
So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution)
This kind of attack leaks address of pkt_devs, [1]
It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR.
So sanitize @dev_minor before using it to prevent attack.
