If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Vasily Averin commit 01b9b0b28626db4a47d7f48744d70abca9914ef1 upstream. In some cases tmp_bug can be not filled in cifs_filldir and stay uninitialized, therefore its printk with "%s" modifier can leak content of kernelspace memory. If old content of this buffer does not contain '\0' access bejond end of allocated object can crash the host.
