Subject: [patch] farsync: fix info leak in ioctl
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:50:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131011095003.GD6247@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5257BFBA.7030405@ai2.upv.es>

From: Salva Peiró <speiro@ai2.upv.es>

The fst_get_iface() code fails to initialize the two padding bytes of
struct sync_serial_settings after the ->loopback member. Add an explicit
memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.
