dma-buf: heaps: Fix potential spectre v1 gadget
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.25% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 24f8e12d965b24f8aea762589e0e9fe2025c005e, 5d40f1bdad3dd1a177f21a90ad4353c1ed40ba3a, 92c4cfaee6872038563c5b6f2e8e613f9d84d47d.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 24f8e12d965b24f8aea762589e0e9fe2025c005e, 5d40f1bdad3dd1a177f21a90ad4353c1ed40ba3a, 92c4cfaee6872038563c5b6f2e8e613f9d84d47d or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma-buf: heaps: Fix potential spectre v1 gadget It appears like nr could be a Spectre v1 gadget as it's supplied by a user and used as an array index. Prevent the contents of kernel memory from being leaked to userspace via speculative execution by using array_index_nospec. [sumits: added fixes and cc: stable tags]
