Subject: [PATCH 3.14 16/73] pptp: fix stack info leak in pptp_getname()

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit a5f6fc28d6e6cc379c6839f21820e62262419584 ]

pptp_getname() only partially initializes the stack variable sa,
particularly only fills the pptp part of the sa_addr union. The code
thereby discloses 16 bytes of kernel stack memory via getsockname().

Fix this by memset(0)'ing the union before.
