Subject: crypto: algif - suppress sending source address information in recvmsg
From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 72a763d805a48ac8c0bf48fdb510e84c12de51fe upstream.
The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore
makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland
-- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that.
