From a014741c0adfb8fb79952939ca087cf03d272bb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasiliy Kulikov Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 14:42:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: ioctl: fix information leak to userland Structure hd_geometry is copied to userland with 4 padding bytes between cylinders and start fields uninitialized on 64-bit platforms. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory. Currently there is no memset() in real implementations of getgeo() in drivers/block/, so it makes sense to have memset() in blkdev_ioctl().
