Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak

syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in
do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].

Memory access of size 20 starts at ffff888128a46380
Data copied to user address 0000000020000240"

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to
solve the problem.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() para reparar kernel-infoleak syzbot identificó una vulnerabilidad de fuga de información del kernel en do_sys_name_to_handle() y emitió el siguiente informe [1].
