    ax25: fix info leak via msg_name in ax25_recvmsg() · ef3313e8
    Mathias Krause authored
    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).
