[PATCH 029/118] atm: update msg_namelen in vcc_recvmsg()

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue May 07 2013 - 10:13:31 EST


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

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

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9b3e617f3df53822345a8573b6d358f6b9e5ed87 upstream.

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set.
It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes
net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable
to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory.

Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared
about vcc_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set.
