[PATCH][V2] RDMA/nes: do not leak uninitialized resp.reserved to userspace Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

resp.reserved has not been initialized and so the copy_to_user (via
ib_copy_to_udata) is copying uninitialized data from the stack back
to user space which is a potential information leak. Fix this by
initializing all of resp to zero.

V2: Initialize all of the struct rather than just resp.reserved as
suggested by Leon Romanovsky.
