Subject[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v2] block/floppy: Prevent kernel-infoleak in raw_cmd_copyout()
Date
raw_cmd_copyout() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack memory
since it is initializing `cmd` by assignment, which may cause the compiler
to leave uninitialized holes in this structure. Fix it by using memcpy()
instead.
