Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: sched: act_connmark: initialize struct tc_ife to fix kernel leak<br />
<br />
In tcf_connmark_dump(), the variable &#39;opt&#39; was partially initialized using a<br />
designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined<br />
uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a<br />
netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.<br />
<br />
Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields<br />
to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.
