V4L/DVB: ivtvfb: prevent reading uninitialized stack memory
The FBIOGET_VBLANK device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 16 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the fb_vblank struct declared on the stack is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it. Signed-off-by: Dan Rosenberg <dan.j.rosenberg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Walls <awalls@md.metrocast.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
