[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v3] block/scsi-ioctl: Prevent kernel-infoleak in scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg()

[Peilin Ye <yepeilin.cs@gmail.com>]

scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg() is potentially copying uninitialized stack
memory to userspace, since the compiler may leave a 3-byte hole in the
middle of `cgc32`. Prevent it by adding a padding field to `struct
compat_cdrom_generic_command`.

Change in v3:
    - Improve commit message. scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg() does not
      *always* leak kernel information. It is compiler dependent.
      Reference: https://www.nccgroup.com/us/about-us/newsroom-and-events/blog/2019/october/padding-the-struct-how-a-compiler-optimization-can-disclose-stack-memory/
    - Base the patch against mainline 5.9-rc4.

Change in v2:
    - Add a padding field to `struct compat_cdrom_generic_command`,
      instead of doing memset() on `cgc32`. (Suggested by Jens Axboe
      <axboe@kernel.dk>)
