[PATCH] block: Clear kernel memory before copying to user

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the kernel allocates a bounce buffer for user read data, this memory
needs to be cleared before copying it to the user, otherwise it may leak
kernel memory to user space.
