Subject: [PATCH char-misc-linus] misc: mic: Fix for double fetch security bug in VOP driver
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 14:36:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7cd1b13eec80c462e97ba75f658611ff677da359.1461792580.git.ashutosh.dixit@intel.com> (raw)
The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a
variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if
the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows
the chance of this happening.
