The driver for Cisco Aironet 4500 and 4800 series cards (airo.c), implements AIROOLDIOCTL/SIOCDEVPRIVATE in airo_ioctl(). The ioctl handler copies an aironet_ioctl struct from userspace, which includes a command and a length. Some of the commands are handled in readrids(), which kmalloc()'s a buffer of RIDSIZE (2048) bytes. That buffer is then passed to PC4500_readrid(), which has two cases. The else case does some setup and then reads up to RIDSIZE bytes from the hardware into the kmalloc()'ed buffer. Here len == RIDSIZE, pBuf is the kmalloc()'ed buffer: // read the rid length field bap_read(ai, pBuf, 2, BAP1); // length for remaining part of rid len = min(len, (int)le16_to_cpu(*(__le16*)pBuf)) - 2; ... // read remainder of the rid rc = bap_read(ai, ((__le16*)pBuf)+1, len, BAP1); PC4500_readrid() then returns to readrids() which does: len = comp->len; if (copy_to_user(comp->data, iobuf, min(len, (int)RIDSIZE))) { Where comp->len is the user controlled length field. So if the "rid length field" returned by the hardware is < 2048, and the user requests 2048 bytes in comp->len, we will leak the previous contents of the kmalloc()'ed buffer to userspace. Fix it by kzalloc()'ing the buffer. Found by Ilja by code inspection, not tested as I don't have the required hardware.
