[ 029/120] xfrm_user: fix info leak in copy_to_user_policy()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 10 2012 - 21:18:59 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7b789836f434c87168eab067cfbed1ec4783dffd ]

The memory reserved to dump the xfrm policy includes multiple padding
bytes added by the compiler for alignment (padding bytes in struct
xfrm_selector and struct xfrm_userpolicy_info). Add an explicit
memset(0) before filling the buffer to avoid the heap info leak.
