This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled proc connector: fix info leaks to the 3.10-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: proc-connector-fix-info-leaks.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a8d65362af47290c2d5c2322ca07edbe932d4a88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:03:06 +0200 Subject: proc connector: fix info leaks From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e727ca82e0e9616ab4844301e6bae60ca7327682 ] Initialize event_data for all possible message types to prevent leaking kernel stack contents to userland (up to 20 bytes). Also set the flags member of the connector message to 0 to prevent leaking two more stack bytes this way. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
