SubjectRe: [RESEND PATCH] ALSA: rawmidi: fix infoleak in snd_rawmidi_ioctl_status_compat64
Hi, the compat_status structure is struct compat_snd_rawmidi_status64 {
s32 stream;
u8 rsvd[4]; /* alignment */
s64 tstamp_sec;
s64 tstamp_nsec;
u32 avail;
u32 xruns;
unsigned char reserved[16];
} __attribute__((packed));
The rsvd[4] and reserved[16] are not initialized.


Regards,
butt3rflyh4ck.
