From: Alan Stern <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit f0c2b68198589249afd2b1f2c4e8de8c03e19c16 upstream. When a signal is delivered, the information in the siginfo structure is copied to userspace. Good security practice dicatates that the unused fields in this structure should be initialized to 0 so that random kernel stack data isn't exposed to the user. This patch adds such an initialization to the two places where usbfs raises signals.
