From ef3313e84acbf349caecae942ab3ab731471f1a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 01:51:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ax25: fix info leak via msg_name in ax25_recvmsg() When msg_namelen is non-zero the sockaddr info gets filled out, as requested, but the code fails to initialize the padding bytes of struct sockaddr_ax25 inserted by the compiler for alignment. Additionally the msg_namelen value is updated to sizeof(struct full_sockaddr_ax25) but is not always filled up to this size. Both issues lead to the fact that the code will leak uninitialized kernel stack bytes in net/socket.c. Fix both issues by initializing the memory with memset(0).
