Notes: > > From: Pavel Roskin > > > > The orinoco driver can send uninitialized data exposing random pieces of > > the system memory. This happens because data is not padded with zeroes > > when its length needs to be increased. horms> a better fix for this is horms> http://mirror.local.valinux.co.jp/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.15 horms> 192_orinoco-info-leak.diff is missing the ALIGN macro which is not horms> defined elsewhere in 2.4. horms> is added by 192_orinoco-info-leak-2.diff upstream: released (2.6.13.4), released (2.4.33-pre2) linux-2.6: released (2.6.13+2.6.14-rc4-0experimental.1) 2.6.8-sarge-security: released (2.6.8-16sarge2) [orinoco-info-leak.dpatch] 2.4.27-sarge-security: released (2.4.27-10sarge2) [192_orinoco-info-leak.diff, 192_orinoco-info-leak-2.diff] 2.4.19-woody-security: 2.4.18-woody-security: 2.4.17-woody-security: 2.4.16-woody-security: 2.4.17-woody-security-hppa: 2.4.17-woody-security-ia64: 2.4.18-woody-security-hppa:
