From 83d5b7ef99c9f05e87333b334a638de1264ab8e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexei Starovoitov Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 20:18:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: filter: initialize A and X registers exisiting BPF verifier allows uninitialized access to registers, 'ret A' is considered to be a valid filter. So initialize A and X to zero to prevent leaking kernel memory In the future BPF verifier will be rejecting such filters Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S.
