From 62df80165d7f197c9c0652e7416164f294a96661 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lalithambika Krishnakumar Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2020 14:09:00 -0800 Subject: nvme: avoid possible double fetch in handling CQE While handling the completion queue, keep a local copy of the command id from the DMA-accessible completion entry. This silences a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) warning from KF/x[1], with respect to a Thunderclap[2] vulnerability analysis. The double-read impact appears benign. There may be a theoretical window for @command_id to be used as an adversary-controlled array-index-value for mounting a speculative execution attack, but that mitigation is saved for a potential follow-on. A man-in-the-middle attack on the data payload is out of scope for this analysis and is hopefully mitigated by filesystem integrity mechanisms.
