[PATCH 09/14] l2tp: fix info leak via getsockname()

From: Mathias Krause
Date: Wed Aug 15 2012 - 17:35:13 EST


The L2TP code for IPv6 fails to initialize the l2tp_unused member of
struct sockaddr_l2tpip6 and that for leaks two bytes kernel stack via
the getsockname() syscall. Initialize l2tp_unused with 0 to avoid the
info leak.
