Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 082/131] pktcdvd: Fix possible Spectre-v1 for
 pkt_devs

From: Jinbum Park <jinb.park7@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 55690c07b44a82cc3359ce0c233f4ba7d80ba145 ]

User controls @dev_minor which to be used as index of pkt_devs.
So, It can be exploited via Spectre-like attack. (speculative execution)

This kind of attack leaks address of pkt_devs, [1]
It leads an attacker to bypass security mechanism such as KASLR.

So sanitize @dev_minor before using it to prevent attack.
