Subject: [PATCH 3.16 57/76] vfs, fdtable: Prevent bounds-check bypass via
speculative execution
3.16.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>
commit 56c30ba7b348b90484969054d561f711ba196507 upstream.
'fd' is a user controlled value that is used as a data dependency to
read from the 'fdt->fd' array. In order to avoid potential leaks of
kernel memory values, block speculative execution of the instruction
stream that could issue reads based on an invalid 'file *' returned from
__fcheck_files.
