[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 007/156] net: initialize msg.msg_flags in recvfrom

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9f138fa609c47403374a862a08a41394be53d461 ]

KMSAN reports a use of uninitialized memory in put_cmsg() because
msg.msg_flags in recvfrom haven't been initialized properly.
The flag values don't affect the result on this path, but it's still a
good idea to initialize them explicitly.
