- Summary
- ipv4: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in fib_metrics_match()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in fibmetricsmatch()
if (!type) continue; if (type > RTAXMAX) return false; ... fival = fi->fib_metrics->metrics[type - 1];
@type being used as an array index, we need to prevent cpu speculation or risk leaking kernel memory content.
