As Smatch recently suggested, a few places in OSS sequencer codes may
expand the array directly from the user-space value with speculation,
namely there are a significant amount of references to either
info->ch[] or dp->synths[] array:
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:315 note_on_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'info->ch' (local cap)
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:362 note_off_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'info->ch' (local cap)
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:470 snd_seq_oss_synth_load_patch() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp->synths' (local cap)
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:293 note_on_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp->synths'
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:353 note_off_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp->synths'
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:506 snd_seq_oss_synth_sysex() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp->synths'
sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:580 snd_seq_oss_synth_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp->synths'
Although all these seem doing only the first load without further
reference, we may want to stay in a safer side, so hardening with
array_index_nospec() would still make sense.
We may put array_index_nospec() at each place, but here we take a
different approach:
- For dp->synths[], change the helpers to retrieve seq_oss_synthinfo
pointer directly instead of the array expansion at each place
- For info->ch[], harden in a normal way, as there are only a couple
of places
As a result, the existing helper, snd_seq_oss_synth_is_valid() is
replaced with snd_seq_oss_synth_info(). Also, we cover MIDI device
where a similar array expansion is done, too, although it wasn't
reported by Smatch.
