Subject: drivers/char/ppdev.c: fix information leak to userland
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9b1134260e036fb75c468514569864dd6722f3e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

drivers/char/ppdev.c: fix information leak to userland

Structure par_timeout is copied to userland with some padding fields
unitialized.  Field tv_usec has type __kernel_suseconds_t, it differs from
tv_sec's type on some architectures.  It leads to leaking of stack memory.
