In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: clear trailing padding in build_polexpire()
build_expire() clears the trailing padding bytes of struct
xfrm_user_expire after setting the hard field via memset_after(),
but the analogous function build_polexpire() does not do this for
struct xfrm_user_polexpire.
The padding bytes after the __u8 hard field are left
uninitialized from the heap allocation, and are then sent to
userspace via netlink multicast to XFRMNLGRP_EXPIRE listeners,
leaking kernel heap memory contents.
Add the missing memset_after() call, matching build_expire(). |
