[PATCH] [151/223] usb: misc: iowarrior: fix information leak to userland

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Sun Dec 12 2010 - 19:03:01 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@xxxxxxxxx>

commit eca67aaeebd6e5d22b0d991af1dd0424dc703bfb upstream.

Structure iowarrior_info is copied to userland with padding byted
between "serial" and "revision" fields uninitialized. It leads to
leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
