[PATCH] ieee802154: fix kernel-infoleak in dgram_recvmsg()

From: Aleksandr Nogikh <[email protected]>

KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak in move_addr_to_user():

 Uninit was stored to memory at:
 ieee802154_addr_to_sa include/net/ieee802154_netdev.h:369 [inline]
 dgram_recvmsg+0xa09/0xbe0 net/ieee802154/socket.c:739

The issue occurs because the `pan_id` field of `struct ieee802154_addr`
is left uninitialized when the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
The execution flow is as follows:

1. `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` declares a local `struct
ieee802154_hdr hdr` on the stack.
2. `ieee802154_hdr_pull()` calls `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` to parse
the source and destination addresses into this structure.
3. If the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`,
`ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` previously only set the `mode` field,
leaving the `pan_id` field containing uninitialized stack memory.
4. This uninitialized `pan_id` is later copied into a `struct
sockaddr_ieee802154` in `dgram_recvmsg()` via `ieee802154_addr_to_sa()`.
5. Finally, `move_addr_to_user()` copies the socket address structure to
user space, leaking the uninitialized bytes.

Fix this by using `memset` to zero out the address structure in
`ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` when the mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
