From 80897aa787ecd58eabb29deab7cbec9249c9b7e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:58:18 +0100 Subject: HID: uhid: fix leak for 64/32 UHID_CREATE UHID allows short writes so user-space can omit unused fields. We automatically set them to 0 in the kernel. However, the 64/32 bit compat-handler didn't do that in the UHID_CREATE fallback. This will reveal random kernel heap data (of random size, even) to user-space.
