Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()<br />
<br />
In evdev_pass_values(), the input_event structure is allocated on the<br />
kernel stack and populated field-by-field. However, it is never fully<br />
initialized. On architectures where struct input_event contains explicit<br />
or implicit padding (such as the 32-bit __pad field on SPARC64), these<br />
padding bytes are left uninitialized.<br />
<br />
When this event structure is subsequently passed to the client buffer<br />
and later copied to userspace, the uninitialized padding bytes leak<br />
kernel stack memory, potentially exposing sensitive information.<br />
<br />
Similar issues exist in __evdev_queue_syn_dropped and __pass_event.<br />
<br />
Fix this by explicitly zeroing the entire event structure with memset()<br />
before populating its fields. This ensures all padding bytes are cleared<br />
before the data crosses the security boundary.
