Subject: [PATCH 3.16 151/294] xfrm_user: fix info leak in xfrm_notify_sa()

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

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

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

commit 50329c8a340c9dea60d837645fcf13fc36bfb84d upstream.

The memory reserved to dump the ID of the xfrm state includes a padding
byte in struct xfrm_usersa_id added by the compiler for alignment. To
prevent the heap info leak, memset(0) the whole struct before filling
it.
