Linux kernel source tree
9380fa60b1
Prevent use of uninitialized memory (originating from the stack frame of do_sysctl()) by verifying that the name array is filled with sufficient input data before comparing its specific entries with integer constants. Through timing measurement or analyzing the kernel debug logs, a user-mode program could potentially infer the results of comparisons against the uninitialized memory, and acquire some (very limited) information about the state of the kernel stack. The change also eliminates possible future warnings by tools such as KMSAN and other code checkers / instrumentations.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
