From ce7e40c432ba84da104438f6799d460a4cad41bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Tsyrklevich Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 20:57:48 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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. Signed-off-by: Vlad Tsyrklevich Signed-off-by: David S.
