Subject: [PATCH] vt: prevent kernel-infoleak in con_font_get()
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2024 02:46:19 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241010174619.59662-1-aha310510@gmail.com> (raw)
font.data may not initialize all memory spaces depending on the implementation
of vc->vc_sw->con_font_get. This may cause info-leak, so to prevent this, it
is safest to modify it to initialize the allocated memory space to 0, and it
generally does not affect the overall performance of the system.
