| |
And here is the x86 one. I haven't found others so far but I haven't checked other architectures and I might have missed some callpaths for x86 as well. Also please note this hasn't been tested properly and it is based on the code reading. --- From fa8e84058c243f81a49c847624daaf935efdeb5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 15:47:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix potential memleak in do_error_trap
do_error_trap defines on stack siginfo structure which is then sent down to do_trap -> force_sig_info without initializing it. __send_signal -> copy_siginfo will copy the content for later use when the signal is dequeued. This information might later leak into userspace. Fix it by clearing the whole siginfo in do_error_trap before sending it to do_trap.
