[patch] staging: alarm-dev: information leak in alarm_compat_ioctl()

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

 



If we pass an invalid clock type then "ts" is never set.  We need to
check for errors earlier, otherwise we end up passing uninitialized
stack data to userspace.
