info.index can be indirectly 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/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c:734 vfio_pci_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'vdev->region' Fix this by sanitizing info.index before indirectly using it to index vdev->region 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].
