From 01b9b0b28626db4a47d7f48744d70abca9914ef1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasily Averin Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 13:41:14 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cifs_dbg() outputs an uninitialized buffer in cifs_readdir() In some cases tmp_bug can be not filled in cifs_filldir and stay uninitialized, therefore its printk with "%s" modifier can leak content of kernelspace memory. If old content of this buffer does not contain '\0' access bejond end of allocated object can crash the host.
