Subject: [PATCH 4.8 07/35] drivers/ptp: Fix kernel memory disclosure

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

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

From: Vlad Tsyrklevich <vlad@...rklevich.net>


[ Upstream commit 02a9079c66341836c4914c33c06a73245060df2e ]

The reserved field precise_offset->rsv is not cleared before being
copied to user space, leaking kernel stack memory. Clear the struct
before it's copied.
