Subject: [PATCH 3.2 67/94] netfilter: ipt_ULOG: fix info leaks

3.2.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 278f2b3e2af5f32ea1afe34fa12a2518153e6e49 upstream.

The ulog messages leak heap bytes by the means of padding bytes and
incompletely filled string arrays. Fix those by memset(0)'ing the
whole struct before filling it.
