Subject: [PATCH] fs/binfmt_elf.c: allocate initialized memory in fill_thread_core_info()
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2020 12:08:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200419100848.63472-1-glider@google.com> (raw)

KMSAN reported uninitialized data being written to disk when dumping
core. As a result, several kilobytes of kmalloc memory may be written to
the core file and then read by a non-privileged user.

Reported-by: sam <sunhaoyl@outlook.com>
