3.6.11.3 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause [ Upstream commit 3ce5efad47b62c57a4f5c54248347085a750ce0e ] In case msg_name is set the sockaddr info gets filled out, as requested, but the code fails to initialize the padding bytes of struct sockaddr_ax25 inserted by the compiler for alignment. Also the sax25_ndigis member does not get assigned, leaking four more bytes. Both issues lead to the fact that the code will leak uninitialized kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c. Fix both issues by initializing the memory with memset(0). Cc: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: David S.
