[PATCH] irda: do not leak initialized list.dev to userspace
From: Colin King
Date: Thu Aug 17 2017 - 18:15:06 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
list.dev has not been initialized and so the copy_to_user is copying
data from the stack back to user space which is a potential
information leak. Fix this ensuring all of list is initialized to
zero.
