Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/fred: Correct speculative safety in fred_extint() array_index_nospec() is no use if the result gets spilled to the stack, as it makes the believed safe-under-speculation value subject to memory predictions. For all practical purposes, this means array_index_nospec() must be used in the expression that accesses the array. As the code currently stands, it's the wrong side of irqentry_enter(), and 'index' is put into %ebp across the function call. Remove the index variable and reposition array_index_nospec(), so it's calculated immediately before the array access.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.9.1 < 6.12.77) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.17) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.7) • linux linux kernel 6.9 • linux linux kernel 7.0
