[ 04/19] drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c: use kzalloc() for failing hardware

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jonathan Salwan <jonathan.salwan@gmail.com>

commit 542db01579fbb7ea7d1f7bb9ddcef1559df660b2 upstream.

In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory
area with kmalloc in line 2885.

  2885         cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
  2886         if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
  2887                 return -ENOMEM;

In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:

  2908         if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))

The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some
memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.

When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be
partially filled.  The result is an leak information to userspace.
