Description

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