HID: uhid: fix leak for 64/32 UHID_CREATE
UHID allows short writes so user-space can omit unused fields. We automatically set them to 0 in the kernel. However, the 64/32 bit compat-handler didn't do that in the UHID_CREATE fallback. This will reveal random kernel heap data (of random size, even) to user-space. Fixes: befde0226a59 ('HID: uhid: make creating devices work on 64/32 systems') Reported-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
