Subject: [ 020/218] ipvs: fix info leak in getsockopt(IP_VS_SO_GET_TIMEOUT)

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Mathias Krause <minipli@...glemail.com>

[ Upstream commit 2d8a041b7bfe1097af21441cb77d6af95f4f4680 ]

If at least one of CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_TCP or CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_UDP is
not set, __ip_vs_get_timeouts() does not fully initialize the structure
that gets copied to userland and that for leaks up to 12 bytes of kernel
stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before passing the structure to
__ip_vs_get_timeouts() to avoid the info leak.
