Subject: [PATCH 1/1 net-next] net: bridge: netfilter: use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc() for counterstmp
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 05:33:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151030123303.GA19481@mx.elandsys.com> (raw)
counterstmp is not cleared before it is used in get_counters(). it might be
leaked partially when it is sent to userland later on.
