net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)
Structures which are about to be copied to userspace shouldn't have
uninitialized fields or paddings.
memset() the whole &ip_tunnel_parm in ip_tunnel_parm_to_user() before
filling it with the kernel data. The compilers will hopefully combine
writes to it.
Fixes: 117aef12a7b1 ("ip_tunnel: use a separate struct to store tunnel params in the kernel")
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/5f63dd25-de94-4ca3-84e6-14095953db13@moroto.mountain
