An interesting report into frame-padding information leakage violations in
ethernet drivers. The authors use linux drivers in their examples.

Yes. All of those drivers are for ancient and/or obscure hardware
except three: rtl8139, epic100, and via-rhine.
There are fixes for those (and others) in testing right now, in fact :)

It's an old bug, it was discussed years ago on l-k.
Unfortunately the drivers weren't fixed at that time.

thought I'd seen it before. Looks like a way for someone to generate
some consulting fees...
