From 6ccd06ead508da8351bae3aab57a2efba954cb2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 01:51:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netrom: fix info leak via msg_name in nr_recvmsg() [ Upstream commits 3ce5efad47b62c57a4f5c54248347085a750ce0e and c802d759623acbd6e1ee9fbdabae89159a513913 ] In case msg_name is set the sockaddr info gets filled out, as requested, but the code fails to initialize the padding bytes of struct sockaddr_ax25 inserted by the compiler for alignment. Also the sax25_ndigis member does not get assigned, leaking four more bytes. Both issues lead to the fact that the code will leak uninitialized kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c. Fix both issues by initializing the memory with memset(0). Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: David S.
