Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs: init flags_valid before calling vfs_fileattr_get<br />
<br />
syzbot reported a uninit-value bug in [1].<br />
<br />
Similar to the "*get" context where the kernel&#39;s internal file_kattr<br />
structure is initialized before calling vfs_fileattr_get(), we should<br />
use the same mechanism when using fa.<br />
<br />
