[PATCH 13/14] ipvs: fix info leak in getsockopt(IP_VS_SO_GET_TIMEOUT)

From: Mathias Krause <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-15 21:34:01
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: ipvs, netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Simon Horman, Julian Anastasov, Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

If at least one of CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_TCP or CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_UDP is
not set, __ip_vs_get_timeouts() does not fully initialize the structure
that gets copied to userland and that for leaks up to 12 bytes of kernel
stack. Add an explicit memset(0) before passing the structure to
__ip_vs_get_timeouts() to avoid the info leak.
