Subject: [PATCH v3] IPC: Initialize structure memory to zero for compat functions
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:34:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1286418881.4645.253.camel@Dan> (raw)
Updated to include compat shmctl() structs. Now using memset().
This takes care of leaking uninitialized kernel stack memory to
userspace from non-zeroed fields in structs in compat ipc functions.
