net: atm: Fix potential Spectre v1
ioc_data.dev_num can be 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: net/atm/lec.c:702 lec_vcc_attach() warn: potential spectre issue 'dev_lec' Fix this by sanitizing ioc_data.dev_num before using it to index dev_lec. Also, notice that there is another instance in which array dev_lec is being indexed using ioc_data.dev_num at line 705: lec_vcc_added(netdev_priv(dev_lec[ioc_data.dev_num]), 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].
