[PATCH 07/14] Bluetooth: RFCOMM - Fix info leak via getsockname()

From: Mathias Krause
Date: Wed Aug 15 2012 - 17:36:17 EST


The RFCOMM code fails to initialize the trailing padding byte of struct
sockaddr_rc added for alignment. It that for leaks one byte kernel stack
via the getsockname() syscall. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling
the structure to avoid the info leak.
