Subject: [PATCH] Fix uninitialized struct sockaddr_hci memory passed to bind()
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:02:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295557368-9737-1-git-send-email-anderson.lizardo@openbossa.org> (raw)

The bind() call in open_socket() was passing a struct sockaddr_hci to
bind() with two uninitialized bytes. This caused "Invalid argument" errors
on kernels which do strict checks of struct sockaddr_hci fields.
