References: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q1/598 Description: information leak in crypto API Notes: jmm> This ID is about jmm> The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of the buffer with null bytes, those stack bytes will be disclosed to users of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.
