commit 670ae9caaca467ea1bfd325cb2a5c98ba87f94ad upstream. struct vhost_msg within struct vhost_msg_node is copied to userspace. Unfortunately it turns out on 64 bit systems vhost_msg has padding after type which gcc doesn't initialize, leaking 4 uninitialized bytes to userspace. This padding also unfortunately means 32 bit users of this interface are broken on a 64 bit kernel which will need to be fixed separately.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
