Subject: drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc6~61
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd02db9de73faebc51240619c7c7f99bee9f65c7;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

drivers/video/sis/sis_main.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory

The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes
of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the
fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed before
being copied back to the user.  This patch takes care of it.
