From 82dc4afd7e65455464f0fc2fe6976efde54fe451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashutosh Dixit Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 14:36:05 -0700 Subject: misc: mic: Fix for double fetch security bug in VOP driver The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows the chance of this happening.
