Subject: net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce7e40c432ba84da104438f6799d460a4cad41bc;p=linux-beck.git

net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure

ipddp_route structs contain alignment padding so kernel heap memory
is leaked when they are copied to user space in
ipddp_ioctl(SIOCFINDIPDDPRT). Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to clear
that memory.
