Hi Dan,

After 25 days it is still not in linux-next.  Also the second hunk is IMO odd
as all five fields are initialized:


	case IPC_OLD:
	    {
		struct shminfo out;

		if(in->shmmax > INT_MAX)
			out.shmmax = INT_MAX;
		else
			out.shmmax = (int)in->shmmax;

		out.shmmin	= in->shmmin;
		out.shmmni	= in->shmmni;
		out.shmseg	= in->shmseg;
		out.shmall	= in->shmall; 

		return copy_to_user(buf, &out, sizeof(out));
	    }

/* Obsolete, used only for backwards compatibility */
struct  shminfo {
        int shmmax;
        int shmmin;
        int shmmni;
        int shmseg;
        int shmall;
};

And I see no padding hole in shminfo.

[PATCH] ipc: shm: fix information leak to userland

[Vasiliy Kulikov]

Structure shmid_ds is copied to userland with shm_unused{,2,3}
fields unitialized.  It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
