Subject: xfs: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a122eb2fdfd78b58c6dd992d6f4b1aaef667eef9;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

xfs: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory

The XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 12
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the fsxattr struct
declared on the stack in xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr() does not alter (or zero)
the 12-byte fsx_pad member before copying it back to the user.  This
patch takes care of it.
