Subject: [PATCH] wanxl: fix info leak in ioctl
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

commit 2b13d06c9584b4eb773f1e80bbaedab9a1c344e1 upstream.

The wanxl_ioctl() code fails to initialize the two padding bytes of
struct sync_serial_settings after the ->loopback member. Add an explicit
memset(0) before filling the structure to avoid the info leak.
