Subject: [patch 2/7] orinoco: Information leakage due to incorrect padding

From: Greg KH <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 16:54:32 -0700

From: Pavel Roskin <[email-masked]>

The orinoco driver can send uninitialized data exposing random pieces of
the system memory.  This happens because data is not padded with zeroes
when its length needs to be increased.
