[PATCH 1/1] crypto: user - fix leaking uninitialized memory to userspace

Tyler Hicks tyhicks at canonical.com
Fri Jan 25 02:08:08 UTC 2019


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

All bytes of the NETLINK_CRYPTO report structures must be initialized,
since they are copied to userspace.  The change from strncpy() to
strlcpy() broke this.  As a minimal fix, change it back.

Fixes: 4473710df1f8 ("crypto: user - Prepare for CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME expansion")
