Subject: Re: [PATCH -next] netrom: fix invalid use of sizeof in nr_recvmsg()

Hi,

According to the proximity of NetRom and Rose codes I looked at af_rose.c
and it seems that similarly sockaddr_rose structure is let uninitialized 
in rose_recvmsg().

Then, would you consider the following patch interesting to be committed ?

         skb_copy_datagram_iovec(skb, 0, msg->msg_iov, copied);

         if (srose != NULL) {
+               memset(srose, 0, sizeof(*srose));
                 srose->srose_family = AF_ROSE;
                 srose->srose_addr   = rose->dest_addr;
                 srose->srose_call   = rose->dest_call;
