From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit 792039c73cf176c8e39a6e8beef2c94ff46522ed upstream. The L2CAP code fails to initialize the l2_bdaddr_type member of struct sockaddr_l2 and the padding byte added for alignment. It that for leaks two bytes kernel stack via the getsockname() syscall. Add an explicit memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.
