From f4f0cb8d0e023a274834aed9430a520de10bacbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasiliy Kulikov Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 01:40:10 +0000 Subject: econet: 4 byte infoleak to the network commit 67c5c6cb8129c595f21e88254a3fc6b3b841ae8e upstream. struct aunhdr has 4 padding bytes between 'pad' and 'handle' fields on x86_64. These bytes are not initialized in the variable 'ah' before sending 'ah' to the network. This leads to 4 bytes kernel stack infoleak. This bug was introduced before the git epoch.
