From b9b1134260e036fb75c468514569864dd6722f3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasiliy Kulikov Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:34:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/ppdev.c: fix information leak to userland Structure par_timeout is copied to userland with some padding fields unitialized. Field tv_usec has type __kernel_suseconds_t, it differs from tv_sec's type on some architectures. It leads to leaking of stack memory.
