Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable Fix smb3_init_transform_rq() to initialise buffer to NULL before calling netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() as netfs assumes it can append to the buffer it is given. Setting it to NULL means it should start a fresh buffer, but the value is currently undefined.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.12 < 6.12.44) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.16.4) • linux linux kernel 6.17
