gpio: prevent potential speculation leaks in gpio_device_get_desc()
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-56213 CVE: CVE-2024-44931 commit d795848 Author: Hagar Hemdan <hagarhem@amazon.com> Date: Thu May 23 08:53:32 2024 +0000 gpio: prevent potential speculation leaks in gpio_device_get_desc() Userspace may trigger a speculative read of an address outside the gpio descriptor array. Users can do that by calling gpio_ioctl() with an offset out of range. Offset is copied from user and then used as an array index to get the gpio descriptor without sanitization in gpio_device_get_desc(). This change ensures that the offset is sanitized by using array_index_nospec() to mitigate any possibility of speculative information leaks. This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.
