[PATCH 3.18 11/26] net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlad Tsyrklevich <v...@tsyrklevich.net>


[ Upstream commit ce7e40c432ba84da104438f6799d460a4cad41bc ]

ipddp_route structs contain alignment padding so kernel heap memory
is leaked when they are copied to user space in
ipddp_ioctl(SIOCFINDIPDDPRT). Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to clear
that memory.
