From ae6df5f96a51818d6376da5307d773baeece4014 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 10:03:48 +0000 Subject: net: clear heap allocation for ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL Calling ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL with a large rule_cnt will allocate kernel heap without clearing it. For the one driver (niu) that implements it, it will leave the unused portion of heap unchanged and copy the full contents back to userspace.
