In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: psample: fix info leak in PSAMPLE_ATTR_DATA

the data with 0s just to override it with packet data.
This open coding is missing clearing the pad, however,
each netlink attr is padded to 4B and data_len may
not be divisible by 4B.
