Subject: proc connector: fix info leaks
From: Mathias Krause <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit e727ca82e0e9616ab4844301e6bae60ca7327682 ]
Initialize event_data for all possible message types to prevent leaking
kernel stack contents to userland (up to 20 bytes). Also set the flags
member of the connector message to 0 to prevent leaking two more stack
bytes this way.
