Subject: [PATCH] block: cciss: fix information leak to userland
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:40:48 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288194048-9233-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> (raw)

Structure IOCTL_Command_struct is copied to userland with
some padding fields at the end of the struct unitialized.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
