Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak syzbot found that tcf_skbmod_dump() was copying four bytes from kernel stack to user space [1]. The issue here is that 'struct tc_skbmod' has a four bytes hole. We need to clear the structure before filling fields.
