[PATCH 4.16 037/279] xen: xenbus_dev_frontend: Really return response string

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 06:14:14 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Simon Gaiser <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ebf04f331fa15a966262341a7dc6b1a0efd633e4 ]

xenbus_command_reply() did not actually copy the response string and
leaked stack content instead.

Fixes: 9a6161fe73bd ("xen: return xenstore command failures via response instead of rc")
