From 4ab69a2b3b84415085d261bcf848b7a95c010c9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Knoth Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:43:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hdspm - prevent reading unitialized stack memory Original patch by Dan Rosenberg under commit e68d3b316ab7b02a074edc4f770e6a746390cb7d. I'm copying his text here: The SNDRV_HDSPM_IOCTL_GET_CONFIG_INFO ioctl in hdspm.c allow unprivileged users to read uninitialized kernel stack memory, because several fields of the hdspm_config struct declared on the stack are not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it.
