From: Richard Weinberger richard@nod.at Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2020 22:05:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: wbuf: Don't leak kernel memory to flash
Write buffers use a kmalloc()'ed buffer, they can leak up to seven bytes of kernel memory to flash if writes are not aligned. So use ubifs_pad() to fill these gaps with padding bytes. This was never a problem while scanning because the scanner logic manually aligns node lengths and skips over these gaps.
