Subject: xfs: xfs_ioctl: fix information leak to userland
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6762b938eac878a30a90e770ac655874c36bc642;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

xfs: xfs_ioctl: fix information leak to userland

al_hreq is copied from userland.  If al_hreq.buflen is not properly aligned
then xfs_attr_list will ignore the last bytes of kbuf.  These bytes are
unitialized.  It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
