Subject: [patch] agp: potential info leak in compat_agpioc_info_wrap()
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 06:19:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110923061945.GC4387@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Smatch has a new check for Rosenberg type information leaks where
structs are copied to the user with uninitialized stack data in them.
The agp_info32 struct has a 4 byte hole in it so we need to clear
that before copying it to userspace.
struct agp_info32 {
struct agp_version version; /* 0 0 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
u32 bridge_id; /* 4 4 */
