[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 32/59] block: Clear kernel memory before copying to user

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

 



From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f3587d76da05f68098ddb1cb3c98cc6a9e8a402c ]

If the kernel allocates a bounce buffer for user read data, this memory
needs to be cleared before copying it to the user, otherwise it may leak
kernel memory to user space.
