Subject: [07/82] pcmcia: synclink_cs: fix information leak to userland
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:55:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119215639.320143733@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101119215658.GA7804@kroah.com

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@gmail.com>

commit 5b917a1420d3d1a9c8da49fb0090692dc9aaee86 upstream.

Structure new_line is copied to userland with some padding fields unitialized.
It leads to leaking of stack memory.
