[PATCH 03/14] Bluetooth: HCI - Fix info leak in getsockopt(HCI_FILTER)

From: Mathias Krause
Date: Wed Aug 15 2012 - 17:36:31 EST


The HCI code fails to initialize the two padding bytes of struct
hci_ufilter before copying it to userland -- that for leaking two
bytes kernel stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the
structure to avoid the info leak.
