3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b860d3cc62877fad02863e2a08efff69a19382d2 ] The L2TP code for IPv6 fails to initialize the l2tp_conn_id member of struct sockaddr_l2tpip6 and therefore leaks four bytes kernel stack in l2tp_ip6_recvmsg() in case msg_name is set. Initialize l2tp_conn_id with 0 to avoid the info leak. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
