From 91185568c99d60534bacf38439846103962d1e2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:03:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] prlimit: do_prlimit needs to have a speculation check commit 739790605705ddcf18f21782b9c99ad7d53a8c11 upstream. do_prlimit() adds the user-controlled resource value to a pointer that will subsequently be dereferenced. In order to help prevent this codepath from being used as a spectre "gadget" a barrier needs to be added after checking the range.
