Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/nes: do not leak uninitialized resp.reserved to userspace
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2017 11:23:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170904112316.23832-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

resp.reserved has not been initialized and so the copy_to_user (via
ib_copy_to_udata) is copying uninitialized data from the stack back
to user space which is a potential information leak. Fix this by
setting resp.reserved to zero.

Fixes: 3c2d774cad5b ("RDMA/nes: Add a driver for NetEffect RNICs")
