Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: socket: fix potential spectre v1 gadget in socketcall
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 22:43:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180727224302.5503-2-jcline@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180727224302.5503-1-jcline@redhat.com>

'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)
