[PATCH 3/8] staging: dream: fix information leak to userland

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Thu Oct 28 2010 - 16:05:03 EST


Structure msm_audio_stats is copied to userland with some fields unitialized.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
Also struct msm_audio_config has field "unused" of type array of 3 elements,
not 4. Instead of this, initialize field "type".
