[PATCH 2/3 RESEND] net: packet: fix information leak to userland

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Wed Nov 10 2010 - 13:29:31 EST


packet_getname_spkt() doesn't initialize all members of sa_data field of
sockaddr struct if strlen(dev->name) < 13. This structure is then copied
to userland. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
We have to fully fill sa_data with strncpy() instead of strlcpy().

The same with packet_getname(): it doesn't initialize sll_pkttype field of
sockaddr_ll. Set it to zero.
