[ Upstream commit 50d5258634aee2e62832aa086d2fb0de00e72b91 ]
flen is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:
net/core/filter.c:1101 bpf_check_classic() warn: potential spectre issue 'filter' [w]
Fix this by sanitizing flen before using it to index filter at line 1101:
switch (filter[flen - 1].code) {
and through pc at line 1040:
const struct sock_filter *ftest = &filter[pc];
Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
