[PATCH] fix infoleak in wilc_wfi_cfgoperations

From: Kangjie Lu
Date: Tue May 03 2016 - 18:14:33 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, initialize it with memset or
fill it with meaningful mac address.
