[PATCH v2] powerpc: kvm: powerpc: fix information leak to userland

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

 



Structure kvm_ppc_pvinfo is copied to userland with "flags" and "pad"
fields unitialized.  It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack
memory.  We have to initialize them to zero.

In patch v1 Jan Kiszka suggested to fill reserved fields with zeros
instead of memset'ting the whole struct.  It makes sense as these
fields are explicitly marked as padding.  No more fields need zeroing.
