[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH net v2] xdp: Prevent kernel-infoleak in xsk_getsockopt()

From: Peilin Ye
Date: Tue Jul 28 2020 - 01:37:30 EST


xsk_getsockopt() is copying uninitialized stack memory to userspace when
`extra_stats` is `false`. Fix it.

Fixes: 8aa5a33578e9 ("xsk: Add new statistics")

Doing `= {};` is sufficient since currently `struct xdp_statistics` is
defined as follows:

struct xdp_statistics {
__u64 rx_dropped;
__u64 rx_invalid_descs;
__u64 tx_invalid_descs;
__u64 rx_ring_full;
__u64 rx_fill_ring_empty_descs;
__u64 tx_ring_empty_descs;
};

When being copied to the userspace, `stats` will not contain any
uninitialized "holes" between struct fields.

Changes in v2:
- Remove the "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" tag. (Suggested by Song Liu
<songliubraving@xxxxxx>)
- Initialize `stats` by assignment instead of using memset().
