Subject: [patch v2] ipmi: info leak in compat_ipmi_ioctl()
Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 15:46:58 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130531124658.GU23987@mwanda> (raw)

On x86_64 there is a 4 byte hole between ->recv_type and ->addr.

Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

v2: fixed the changelog a little.  Also added LKML because the
openipmi is a moderated list (and the moderator thought my email was
spam).
