md: use kzalloc() when bitmap is disabled
commit b6878d9e upstream. In drivers/md/md.c get_bitmap_file() uses kmalloc() for creating a mdu_bitmap_file_t called "file". 5769 file = kmalloc(sizeof(*file), GFP_NOIO); 5770 if (!file) 5771 return -ENOMEM; This structure is copied to user space at the end of the function. 5786 if (err == 0 && 5787 copy_to_user(arg, file, sizeof(*file))) 5788 err = -EFAULT But if bitmap is disabled only the first byte of "file" is initialized with zero, so it's possible to read some bytes (up to 4095) of kernel space memory from user space. This is an information leak. 5775 /* bitmap disabled, zero the first byte and copy out */ 5776 if (!mddev->bitmap_info.file) 5777 file->pathname[0] = '\0'; Signed-off-by: Benjamin Randazzo <benjamin@randazzo.fr> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
