From 073b0b42c9a06e8c3d2e81fac440e3f387c0498a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Rosenberg Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:43:04 +0000 Subject: drivers/net/eql.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory commit 44467187dc22fdd33a1a06ea0ba86ce20be3fe3c upstream. Fixed formatting (tabs and line breaks). The EQL_GETMASTRCFG device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "master_name" member of the master_config_t struct declared on the stack in eql_g_master_cfg() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg Signed-off-by: David S.
