[PATCH 1/2] wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()

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

 



The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single
byte is initialized.  However we need to initialize the whole buffer
to prevent information leaks.  Just use memdup_user().
