From 1984c23f9e0cdb432d90a85ecf88b424d36878fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:17:44 -0600 Subject: eCryptfs: Clear buffer before reading in metadata xattr We initially read in the first PAGE_CACHE_SIZE of a file to if the eCryptfs header marker can be found. If it isn't found and ecryptfs_xattr_metadata was given as a mount option, then the user.ecryptfs xattr is read into the same buffer. Since the data from the first page of the file wasn't cleared, it is possible that we think we've found a second tag 3 or tag 1 packet and then error out after the packet contents aren't as expected. This patch clears the buffer before filling it with metadata from the user.ecryptfs xattr.
