    ALSA: rme9652: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerability · 67b6a811
    Gustavo A. R. Silva 提交于
    commit 0b84304ef5da92add8dc75a1b07879c5374cdb05 upstream.
    
    info->channel 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:
    
    sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:4100 snd_hdsp_channel_info() warn: potential spectre issue 'hdsp->channel_map' [r] (local cap)
    
    Fix this by sanitizing info->channel before using it to index hdsp->channel_map
    
    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].
    
    Also, notice that I refactored the code a bit in order to get rid of the
    following checkpatch warning:
    
    ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
    FILE: sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:4103:
    	if ((mapped_channel = hdsp->channel_map[info->channel]) < 0)
