Subject[PATCH] drivers/net/eql.c: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
From
The EQL_GETMASTRCFG device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "master_name" member
of the master_config_t struct declared on the stack in
eql_g_master_cfg() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back
to the user. This patch takes care of it.
