Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 068/213] xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_state()

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.

    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit f778a636713a435d3a922c60b1622a91136560c1 upstream.

The memory reserved to dump the xfrm state includes the padding bytes of
struct xfrm_usersa_info added by the compiler for alignment (7 for
amd64, 3 for i386). Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the buffer
to avoid the info leak.
