Subject: [patch] staging: slicoss: information leak in ETHTOOL_GSET
Date: Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:29:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130404062942.GA6494@longonot.mountain> (raw)

There are some fields in "edata" which have not been cleared.  One
example is edata.cmd.  It leaks uninitialized stack information to the
user.
