Message-ID: <1284587008.6275.95.camel@dan> Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:43:28 -0400 From: Dan Rosenberg <drosenberg@...curity.com> To: j.dumon@...ion.com Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, security@...nel.org, davem@...emloft.net, stable@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH v2] drivers/net/usb/hso.c: prevent reading uninitialized memory Fixed formatting (tabs and line breaks). The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the serial_icounter_struct struct declared on the stack in hso_get_count() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it.
