Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix info leaks on export for udf and isofs

Al, Jan,

this patch set fixes info leaks in isofs and udf. Both file systems fail to
initialize all bytes of the f_handle byte array when creating a handle for a
path pointing to a directory. This memory gets copied to userland and that for
is a leak of uninitialized heap data to userland that should be fixed.

This info leak can be triggered locally by using the name_to_handle_at()
syscall.

Regards,

Mathias Krause (2):
