struct tpm_chip *chip = to_tpm_chip(dev); + char anti_replay[20]; - tpm_cmd.header.in = tpm_readpubek_header; - err = tpm_transmit_cmd(chip, NULL, &tpm_cmd, READ_PUBEK_RESULT_SIZE, + rc = tpm_buf_init(&tpm_buf, TPM_TAG_RQU_COMMAND, TPM_ORD_READPUBEK); + if (rc) + return rc; + + /* The checksum is ignored so it doesn't matter what the contents are. + */ + tpm_buf_append(&tpm_buf, anti_replay, sizeof(anti_replay));It does matter, we do not want to leak random kernel memory incase it has something sensitive. Zero anti_replay.If there was a leak it has existed before this change as tpm_cmd was also allocated from stack. And there is not leak because the checksum is not printed.
It leaks stack memory to the TPM which is not OK.
I think better idea would be to move struct tpm_readpubek_params_out declaration here and use it to refer different fields. Previously this
That would be better.. Jason -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
