Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] scsi: qla2xxx: Zero dport diagnostics buffer to avoid info leak
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:28:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911152836.1078305-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090930-ridden-childcare-44d5@gregkh>
From: Nilesh Javali <njavali@marvell.com>
[ Upstream commit a152edab3854f01dd2daf3eaf8f32cbabdb3834e ]
qla2x00_do_dport_diagnostics() allocates the qla_dport_diag response
buffer with kmalloc_obj() (non-zeroing) and, on success, copies the full
sizeof(*dd) back to user space via sg_copy_from_buffer(). The inbound
sg_copy_to_buffer() only fills as many bytes as the user request payload
provides, and qla26xx_dport_diagnostics() zeroes only dd->buf. The
options and unused[] fields are therefore copied out uninitialized,
leaking kernel heap contents to user space.
Allocate with kzalloc_obj(), matching qla2x00_do_dport_diagnostics_v2().
Fixes: ec89146215d1 ("qla2xxx: Add bsg interface to support D_Port Diagnostics.")
