From b024d949a3c24255a7ef1a470420eb478949aa4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 23:14:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] irda: do not leak initialized list.dev to userspace list.dev has not been initialized and so the copy_to_user is copying data from the stack back to user space which is a potential information leak. Fix this ensuring all of list is initialized to zero. Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1357894 ("Uninitialized scalar variable") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: David S.
