** Description changed:

- aac_send_raw_srb() allocates a variable named reply on the stack and
- later copies its contents to userspace. However not all branches of the
- code initializes all fields of reply, representing a possible
- information leak. The memory should be zeroed out initially to prevent
+ aac_send_raw_srb() and aac_get_hba_info() both copy the contents of
+ stack variables to userspace when some of this memory may be
+ uninitialized. The memory should be zeroed out initially to prevent
  this.
