This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: stex: Properly zero out the passthrough command structure to the 4.9-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: scsi-stex-properly-zero-out-the-passthrough-command-structure.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6022f210461fef67e6e676fd8544ca02d1bcfa7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 08:54:47 +0200 Subject: scsi: stex: Properly zero out the passthrough command structure From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6022f210461fef67e6e676fd8544ca02d1bcfa7a upstream. The passthrough structure is declared off of the stack, so it needs to be set to zero before copied back to userspace to prevent any unintentional data leakage. Switch things to be statically allocated which will fill the unused fields with 0 automatically. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YxrjN3OOw2HHl9tx@xxxxxxxxx Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: "James E.J.
