[PATCH 10/11] vivid-sdr-cap: fix potential Spectre variant 1

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon Apr 23 2018 - 13:51:47 EST


band->index can be controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Smatch warning:
drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-sdr-cap.c:323 vivid_sdr_enum_freq_bands() warn: potential spectre issue 'bands_adc'

Fix this by sanitizing band->index before using it to index
bands_adc and bands_fm.

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].
