This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: user - fix leaking uninitialized memory to userspace to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-user-fix-leaking-uninitialized-memory-to-userspace.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From f43f39958beb206b53292801e216d9b8a660f087 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2018 14:56:00 -0700 Subject: crypto: user - fix leaking uninitialized memory to userspace From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f43f39958beb206b53292801e216d9b8a660f087 upstream. All bytes of the NETLINK_CRYPTO report structures must be initialized, since they are copied to userspace. The change from strncpy() to strlcpy() broke this. As a minimal fix, change it back.
