[patch] gre: information leak in ip6_tnl_ioctl()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-16 13:15:04
Also in: kernel-janitors
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

There is a one byte hole between p->hop_limit and p->flowinfo where
stack memory is leaked to the user.  This was introduced in c12b395a46
"gre: Support GRE over IPv6".
