net: sctp: prevent writes to cookie_hmac_alg from accessing invalid memory
proc_dostring() needs an initialized destination string, while the one provided in proc_sctp_do_hmac_alg() contains stack garbage. Thus, writing to cookie_hmac_alg would strlen() that garbage and end up accessing invalid memory. Fixes: 3c68198e7 ("sctp: Make hmac algorithm selection for cookie generation dynamic") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
