From 84d73cd3fb142bf1298a8c13fd4ca50fd2432372 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2013 05:52:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] rtnl: fix info leak on RTM_GETLINK request for VF devices Initialize the mac address buffer with 0 as the driver specific function will probably not fill the whole buffer. In fact, all in-kernel drivers fill only ETH_ALEN of the MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes, i.e. 6 of the 32 possible bytes. Therefore we currently leak 26 bytes of stack memory to userland via the netlink interface. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S.
