From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit e723e3f7f9591b79e8c56b3d7c5a204a9c571b55 ] Avoid sending a partially initialised `siginfo_t' structure along SIGFPE signals issued from `do_ov' and `do_trap_or_bp', leading to information leaking from the kernel stack.
