Hello,

In file sound/core/timer.c of the latest mainline Linux kernel, the stack
object “tread” has a total size of 32 bytes. It contains a 8-bytes padding,
which is not initialized but sent to user via copy_to_user, resulting a
kernel leak.

Fix info:

Please help assign a CVE to this vulnerability.


Thanks,
