=====================================================

tipc_add_tlv() puts TLV descriptor and value onto `skb`. This size is
calculated with TLV_SPACE() macro. It adds the size of struct tlv_desc and
the length of TLV value passed as an argument, and aligns the result to a
multiple of TLV_ALIGNTO, i.e., a multiple of 4 bytes.

If the size of struct tlv_desc plus the length of TLV value is not aligned,
the current implementation leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This
is the cause of the above kernel-infoleak issue.

This patch resolves this issue by clearing data up to an aligned size.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
