3.6.11.1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause [ Upstream commit 29cd8ae0e1a39e239a3a7b67da1986add1199fc0 ] The dcb netlink interface leaks stack memory in various places: * perm_addr[] buffer is only filled at max with 12 of the 32 bytes but copied completely, * no in-kernel driver fills all fields of an IEEE 802.1Qaz subcommand, so we're leaking up to 58 bytes for ieee_ets structs, up to 136 bytes for ieee_pfc structs, etc., * the same is true for CEE -- no in-kernel driver fills the whole struct, Prevent all of the above stack info leaks by properly initializing the buffers/structures involved.
