Subject: [PATCH net v1 3/3] net/sched: act_gate: zero-initialize netlink dump struct
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 11:26:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116112522.159480-4-p@1g4.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116112522.159480-1-p@1g4.org>

Zero-initialize the tc_gate dump struct to avoid leaking padding bytes
to userspace. Without clearing the struct, uninitialized stack padding
can be copied into the netlink reply during action dumps.

Fixes: a51c328df310 ("net: qos: introduce a gate control flow action")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
