Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
io_uring/waitid: clear waitid info before copying it to userspace<br />
<br />
IORING_OP_WAITID stores its result fields in struct io_waitid::info and<br />
later copies them to userspace siginfo. The prep path initializes the<br />
request arguments, but it does not initialize info itself.<br />
<br />
If the wait operation completes without reporting a child event, the common<br />
wait code can return without writing wo_info. In that case io_waitid_finish()<br />
still copies iw->info to userspace, exposing stale bytes from the reused<br />
io_kiocb command storage.<br />
<br />
Clear the result storage during prep so the io_uring path matches the<br />
regular waitid syscall, which uses a zero-initialized struct waitid_info.
