** Description changed:

- Placeholder
+ Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
+ drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
+ are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error
+ conditions), the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back
+ to userspace. Note that these are less of an issue since these all
+ require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

** Attachment added: "hardy.patch"
