>Description:
Found on -stable
I recently noticed that kldstat(8) started to dump core for me on
RELENG_7. I traced the problem down to kldstat(2). r182231 (DTrace
MFC) introduced a new version of kld_file_stat struct and added
some code to support the old version of the structure in kldstat().
In the new code the old structure is known as kld_file_stat_1.
Unfortunately there's a bug in this code: kldstat() copies always
sizeof(struct kld_file_stat) of data to user space while it should
copy sizeof(struct kld_file_stat_1) when the old struct is used.
This guy is probably suffering from this problem too:
