[PATCH] fix infoleak in ioctl_cfg80211

From: Kangjie Lu
Date: Tue May 03 2016 - 18:09:03 EST


"mac" is an array allocated in stack without being initialized,
and will be sent out via "nla_put". The dump_station() is supposed
to initialize the mac address; otherwise, sensitive data in kernel
stack will be leaked. To fix this, either initialize it (e.g.,
memset) or completely remove this dump_station().
