Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Initialize new folios before use
KMSAN reports an uninitialized value in longest_match_std(), invoked
from ntfs_compress_write(). When new folios are allocated without being
marked uptodate and ni_read_frame() is skipped because the caller expects
the frame to be completely overwritten, some reserved folios may remain
only partially filled, leaving the rest memory uninitialized.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.11 < 6.12.75)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.14)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.4)
