Description

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