If userland creates a timer without specifying a sigevent info, we'll create one ourself, using a stack local variable. Particularly will we use the timer ID as sival_int. But as sigev_value is a union containing a pointer and an int, that assignment will only partially initialize sigev_value on systems where the size of a pointer is bigger than the size of an int. On such systems we'll copy the uninitialized stack bytes from the timer_create() call to userland when the timer actually fires and we're going to deliver the signal. Initialize sigev_value with 0 to plug the stack info leak. Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team. Fixes: 5a9fa730 ("posix-timers: kill ->it_sigev_signo and...") Signed-off-by:
