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

commit fe10ae53384e48c51996941b7720ee16995cbcb7 upstream.

Sometimes ax25_getname() doesn't initialize all members of fsa_digipeater
field of fsa struct, also the struct has padding bytes between
sax25_call and sax25_ndigis fields.  This structure is then copied to
userland.  It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
