Subject: [PATCH v3] smb2: fix uninitialized variable bug in smb2_ioctl_query_info
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 00:02:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181009220220.GA24569@embeddedor.com> (raw)

There is a potential execution path in which variable *resp_buftype*
is passed as an argument to function free_rsp_buf(), in which it is
used in a comparison without being properly initialized previously.

Fix this by initializing variable *resp_buftype* to CIFS_NO_BUFFER
in order to avoid unpredictable or unintended results.
