[PATCH 4.9 74/90] ALSA: rawmidi: Initialize allocated buffers

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

 



From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 5a7b44a8df822e0667fc76ed7130252523993bda upstream.

syzbot reported the uninitialized value exposure in certain situations
using virmidi loop.  It's likely a very small race at writing and
reading, and the influence is almost negligible.  But it's safer to
paper over this just by replacing the existing kvmalloc() with
kvzalloc().
