Subject: [PATCH] zero-fill colormap in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2021 23:07:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210331220719.1499743-1-phil@philpotter.co.uk> (raw)

Use kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() for the dynamically allocated parts
of the colormap in fb_alloc_cmap_gfp, to prevent a leak of random kernel
data to userspace under certain circumstances.

Fixes a KMSAN-found infoleak bug reported by syzbot at:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=741578659feabd108ad9e06696f0c1f2e69c4b6e
