Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> fs: Fix uninitialized &amp;#39;offp&amp;#39; in statmount_string()<br /> <br /> In statmount_string(), most flags assign an output offset pointer (offp)<br /> which is later updated with the string offset. However, the<br /> STATMOUNT_MNT_UIDMAP and STATMOUNT_MNT_GIDMAP cases directly set the<br /> struct fields instead of using offp. This leaves offp uninitialized,<br /> leading to a possible uninitialized dereference when *offp is updated.<br /> <br /> Fix it by assigning offp for UIDMAP and GIDMAP as well, keeping the code<br /> path consistent.
