[ Upstream commit 3a2af7cccbbaf2362db9053a946a6084e12bfa73 ]
User controls @idx which to be used as index of hwsim_world_regdom_custom. So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution)
This kind of attack leaks address of hwsim_world_regdom_custom, It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR.
So sanitize @idx before using it to prevent attack.
I leveraged strategy [1] to find and exploit this gadget.
