[PATCH 3.12 112/142] cifs_dbg() outputs an uninitialized buffer in cifs_readdir()

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 01b9b0b28626db4a47d7f48744d70abca9914ef1 upstream.

In some cases tmp_bug can be not filled in cifs_filldir and stay uninitialized,
therefore its printk with "%s" modifier can leak content of kernelspace memory.
If old content of this buffer does not contain '\0' access bejond end of
allocated object can crash the host.
