Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 14:40:10 +0300 From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@...nwall.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: security@...nel.org, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Phil Blundell <philb@....org>, Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>, Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>, Nelson Elhage <nelhage@...lice.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] econet: 4 byte infoleak to the network struct aunhdr has 4 padding bytes between 'pad' and 'handle' fields on x86_64. These bytes are not initialized in the variable 'ah' before sending 'ah' to the network. This leads to 4 bytes kernel stack infoleak. This bug was introduced before the git epoch.
