Subject: [patch 1/2] ALSA: hdspm - potential info leak in
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 06:24:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110923062421.GI4387@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 status struct has a hole in it, and on some paths not all the
members were initialized.

struct hdspm_status {
        unsigned char              card_type;            /*     0     1 */
        /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
        enum hdspm_syncsource      autosync_source;      /*     4     4 */
        long long unsigned int     card_clock;           /*     8     8 */

The hdspm_version struct had holes in it as well.

struct hdspm_version {
        unsigned char              card_type;            /*     0     1 */
        char                       cardname[20];         /*     1    20 */
        /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
        unsigned int               serial;               /*    24     4 */
        short unsigned int         firmware_rev;         /*    28     2 */
        /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
        int                        addons;               /*    32     4 */
