Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-frontends: dib3000mb: fix uninit-value in dib3000_write_reg Syzbot reports [1] an uninitialized value issue found by KMSAN in
dib3000_read_reg(). Local u8 rb[2] is used in i2c_transfer() as a read buffer; in case
that call fails, the buffer may end up with some undefined values. Since no elaborate error handling is expected in dib3000_write_reg(),
simply zero out rb buffer to mitigate the problem. [1] Syzkaller report
dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -22 (6/0)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: media: dvb-frontends: dib3000mb: corrección de un valor no inicializado en dib3000_write_reg Syzbot informa [1] de un problema de valor no inicializado encontrado por KMSAN en dib3000_read_reg(). El rb u8 local [2] se utiliza en i2c_transfer() como un búfer de lectura; en caso de que esa llamada falle, el búfer puede terminar con algunos valores indefinidos. Dado que no se espera una gestión elaborada de errores en dib3000_write_reg(), simplemente ponga a cero el búfer rb para mitigar el problema.
