From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prasad J Pandit Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:21:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 9pfs: use g_malloc0 to allocate space for xattr 9p back-end first queries the size of an extended attribute, allocates space for it via g_malloc() and then retrieves its value into allocated buffer. Race between querying attribute size and retrieving its could lead to memory bytes disclosure. Use g_malloc0() to avoid it.
