[PATCH] net: tipc: fix possible infoleak in tipc_mon_rcv()

From: Hangyu Hua
Date: Mon Jun 27 2022 - 23:00:00 EST


dom_bef is use to cache current domain record only if current domain
exists. But when current domain does not exist, dom_bef will still be used
in mon_identify_lost_members. This may lead to an information leak.

Fix this by adding a memset before using dom_bef.
