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.
