pdev_nr and rhport can be 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:
drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:238 detach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhcis'
drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:328 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhcis'
drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:338 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhci->vhci_hcd_ss->vdev'
drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:340 attach_store() warn: potential spectre issue 'vhci->vhci_hcd_hs->vdev'

Fix this by sanitizing pdev_nr and rhport before using them to index
vhcis and vhci->vhci_hcd_ss->vdev respectively.

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].

Thanks for the change.  I'll wait for Shuah's ack/review before queueing
this up just as she knows that codebase much better than anyone else.

thanks,

attach_store() doesn't call valid_port() - can you make the change to
have attach_store() call valid_port() to protect that code path.

Greg,

I've been talking with Dan Williams (intel) about this kind of issues 
[1] and it seems my original assumptions are correct. Hence, this patch 
is not useful and, in order to actually prevent speculation here we 
would need to pass the address of pdev_nr and rhport into valid_port, 
otherwise there may be speculation at drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_sysfs.c:235:

         if (!valid_port(pdev_nr, rhport))
                 return -EINVAL;

         hcd = platform_get_drvdata(vhcis[pdev_nr].pdev);

Ah, yes, sorry, you do need to pass the address through, my mistake
completely.  But the location for the checking is still the right place
to do it, so I was half-right :)

thanks

Yep. And that totally make sense.

I already sent v3:
