Descriptions

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

fs/9p: fix uninitialized values during inode evict

If an iget fails due to not being able to retrieve information
from the server then the inode structure is only partially
initialized. When the inode gets evicted, references to
uninitialized structures (like fscache cookies) were being
made.

This patch checks for a bad_inode before doing anything other
than clearing the inode from the cache. Since the inode is
bad, it shouldn't have any state associated with it that needs
to be written back (and there really isn't a way to complete
those anyways).

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: fs/9p: corrige valores no inicializados durante el desalojo de inodo. Si un iget falla debido a que no puede recuperar información del servidor, entonces la estructura del inodo solo se inicializa parcialmente. Cuando se expulsa el inodo, se hacían referencias a estructuras no inicializadas (como cookies fscache). Este parche busca un bad_inode antes de hacer cualquier otra cosa que no sea borrar el inodo del caché. Dado que el inodo es malo, no debería tener ningún estado asociado que deba reescribirse (y realmente no hay una manera de completarlo de todos modos).
