[PATCH] usb: misc: iowarrior: fix information leak to userland

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Sat Nov 06 2010 - 10:41:43 EST


Structure iowarrior_info is copied to userland with padding byted
between "serial" and "revision" fields uninitialized. It leads to
leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
