Subject: packet: fix heap info leak in PACKET_DIAG_MCLIST sock_diag interface

From: Mathias Krause <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 309cf37fe2a781279b7675d4bb7173198e532867 ]

Because we miss to wipe the remainder of i->addr[] in packet_mc_add(), pdiag_put_mclist() leaks uninitialized heap bytes via the PACKET_DIAG_MCLIST netlink attribute.

Fix this by explicitly memset(0)ing the remaining bytes in i->addr[].
