3.2.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 278f2b3e2af5f32ea1afe34fa12a2518153e6e49 upstream. The ulog messages leak heap bytes by the means of padding bytes and incompletely filled string arrays. Fix those by memset(0)'ing the whole struct before filling it.
