[PATCH 4.4 099/114] vhost: Fix Spectre V1 vulnerability
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 08 2018 - 17:01:02 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ff002269a4ee9c769dbf9365acef633ebcbd6cbe ]
The idx in vhost_vring_ioctl() was controlled by userspace, hence a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
Fixing this by sanitizing idx before using it to index d->vqs.
