[ 72/75] dcbnl: fix various netlink info leaks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 18 2013 - 17:07:36 EST


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

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


From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 29cd8ae0e1a39e239a3a7b67da1986add1199fc0 ]

The dcb netlink interface leaks stack memory in various places:
* perm_addr[] buffer is only filled at max with 12 of the 32 bytes but
copied completely,
* no in-kernel driver fills all fields of an IEEE 802.1Qaz subcommand,
so we're leaking up to 58 bytes for ieee_ets structs, up to 136 bytes
for ieee_pfc structs, etc.,
* the same is true for CEE -- no in-kernel driver fills the whole
struct,

Prevent all of the above stack info leaks by properly initializing the
buffers/structures involved.
