Subject: [PATCH 4.19 23/35] misc: vmw_vmci: fix kernel info-leak by initializing dbells in vmci_ctx_get_chkpt_doorbells()
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2021 16:57:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210104155704.537226842@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210104155703.375788488@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Anant Thazhemadam <anant.thazhemadam@gmail.com>
commit 31dcb6c30a26d32650ce134820f27de3c675a45a upstream.
A kernel-infoleak was reported by syzbot, which was caused because
dbells was left uninitialized.
Using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() fixes this issue.
