Subject: [PATCH] sound/pci/rme9652: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 11:07:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1285427247.7957.35.camel@Dan> (raw)

The SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO and
SNDRV_HDSP_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctls in hdspm.c and hdsp.c allow
unprivileged users to read uninitialized kernel stack memory, because
several fields of the hdsp{m}_config_info structs declared on the stack
are not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user.  This
patch takes care of it.
