| |
Hi Chang, Thomas, Borislav,
"x86/fpu/signal: Prepare for variable sigframe length" has presumably introduced an information leak to the userspace.
According to https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.16-rc2/source/arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c#L126, save_sw_bytes() only initializes the first 20 bytes of sw_bytes, but then the whole struct is copied to the userspace.
KMSAN report follows:
