    libfs: fix infoleak in simple_attr_read() · a65cab7d
    Eric Biggers authored
    Reading from a debugfs file at a nonzero position, without first reading
    at position 0, leaks uninitialized memory to userspace.
    
    It's a bit tricky to do this, since lseek() and pread() aren't allowed
    on these files, and write() doesn't update the position on them.  But
    writing to them with splice() *does* update the position:
    
    	#define _GNU_SOURCE 1
    	#include <fcntl.h>
    	#include <stdio.h>
    	#include <unistd.h>
    	int main()
    	{
    		int pipes[2], fd, n, i;
    		char buf[32];
    
    		pipe(pipes);
    		write(pipes[1], "0", 1);
    		fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/fault_around_bytes", O_RDWR);
    		splice(pipes[0], NULL, fd, NULL, 1, 0);
    		n = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
    		for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    			printf("%02x", buf[i]);
    		printf("\n");
    	}
    
    Output:
    	5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a30
    
    Fix the infoleak by making simple_attr_read() always fill
    simple_attr::get_buf if it hasn't been filled yet.
