[PATCH 3.16 71/72] media: ttusb-dec: Fix info-leak in ttusb_dec_send_command()

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

 



3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Tomas Bortoli <tomasbortoli@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a10feaf8c464c3f9cfdd3a8a7ce17e1c0d498da1 upstream.

The function at issue does not always initialize each byte allocated
for 'b' and can therefore leak uninitialized memory to a USB device in
the call to usb_bulk_msg()

Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc()
