[PATCH 3.2 028/185] audit: fix info leak in AUDIT_GET requests

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Dec 28 2013 - 21:18:27 EST


3.2.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 64fbff9ae0a0a843365d922e0057fc785f23f0e3 upstream.

We leak 4 bytes of kernel stack in response to an AUDIT_GET request as
we miss to initialize the mask member of status_set. Fix that.
