Subject: [PATCH] xen: xenbus_dev_frontend: Really return response string
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 04:08:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180315030803.27781-1-simon@invisiblethingslab.com> (raw)
xenbus_command_reply() did not actually copy the response string and
leaked stack content instead.
Fixes: 9a6161fe73bd ("xen: return xenstore command failures via response instead of rc")
Signed-off-by: Simon Gaiser <simon@invisiblethingslab.com>

PS: AFAICS this is not a security issue since /dev/xen/xenbus is
normally only accessible by root and giving xenstore access to a less
trusted entity probably has a bunch of other unintended consequences.
