3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 01b9b0b28626db4a47d7f48744d70abca9914ef1 upstream.
In some cases tmp_bug can be not filled in cifs_filldir and stay uninitialized,
therefore its printk with "%s" modifier can leak content of kernelspace memory.
If old content of this buffer does not contain '\0' access bejond end of
allocated object can crash the host.
