Message-Id: <1288448778-5373-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 18:26:17 +0400 From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@...il.com> To: kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org Cc: Alex Elder <aelder@....com>, xfs-masters@....sgi.com, Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>, Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>, Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>, Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz <arekm@...en.pl>, xfs@....sgi.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] xfs: linux-2.6: xfs_ioctl: fix information leak to userland al_hreq is copied from userland. If al_hreq.buflen is not properly aligned then xfs_attr_list will ignore the last bytes of kbuf. These bytes are unitialized. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
