Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: zero NFSv4 COMPOUND tag padding
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:00:49 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915160049.3105481-1-qwe.aldo@gmail.com> (raw)

nfs4svc_encode_compoundres() copies the tag bytes into reserved XDR space
and skips directly to the aligned end of the field. xdr_reserve_space()
rounds the reservation up but does not initialize the padding bytes.

A remote client can choose a tag length that is not a multiple of four,
causing one to three stale bytes from the response page to be returned in
the COMPOUND reply.

Use xdr_encode_opaque_fixed() to copy the tag and clear its XDR padding.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
