From 9f8a42e3f35479353ad9b9b5af78e136fd59b509 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Qiang Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 14:13:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 9pfs: fix information leak in xattr read 9pfs uses g_malloc() to allocate the xattr memory space, if the guest reads this memory before writing to it, this will leak host heap memory to the guest. This patch avoid this.
