Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 23:33:38 +0200 From: Mathias Krause <minipli@...glemail.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@...unet.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Mathias Krause <minipli@...glemail.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/6] xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_auth() copy_to_user_auth() fails to initialize the remainder of alg_name and therefore discloses up to 54 bytes of heap memory via netlink to userland. Use strncpy() instead of strcpy() to fill the trailing bytes of alg_name with null bytes.
