[PATCH v2] net/tun: fix ioctl() based info leaks

From: Mathias Krause <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-30 05:46:02
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, tun/tap driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Willem de Bruijn, Jason Wang

The tun module leaks up to 36 bytes of memory by not fully initializing
a structure located on the stack that gets copied to user memory by the
TUNGETIFF and SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl()s.

Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <redacted>
