Subject[PATCH] x86: fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()
Date
The n in ptrace_get_debugreg() is indirectly controlled by userspace via syscall: ptrace(defined in kernel/ptrace.c), hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.
The n can be controlled from: ptrace -> arch_ptrace -> ptrace_get_debugreg.

Fix this by sanitizing n before using it to index thread->ptrace_bps.
