[PATCH 4.4 50/66] scsi: sg: fixup infoleak when using SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>

commit 3e0097499839e0fe3af380410eababe5a47c4cf9 upstream.

When calling SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl only a half-filled table is
returned; the remaining part will then contain stale kernel memory
information.  This patch zeroes out the entire table to avoid this
issue.
