*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The get_name function in net/tipc/socket.c in the Linux kernel before
2.6.37-rc2 does not initialize a certain structure, which allows local
users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory
by reading a copy of this structure.
