vhost: Fix Spectre V1 vulnerability
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit ff00226 ]

The idx in vhost_vring_ioctl() was controlled by userspace, hence a
potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

Fixing this by sanitizing idx before using it to index d->vqs.
