Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: avoid kernel-infoleak from struct iw_point<br />
<br />
struct iw_point has a 32bit hole on 64bit arches.<br />
<br />
struct iw_point {<br />
void __user *pointer; /* Pointer to the data (in user space) */<br />
__u16 length; /* number of fields or size in bytes */<br />
__u16 flags; /* Optional params */<br />
};<br />
<br />
Make sure to zero the structure to avoid disclosing 32bits of kernel data<br />
to user space.
