In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: fix kernel-infoleak in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy()

The ioctl helper function nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy(), which exchanges a
metadata array to/from user space, may copy uninitialized buffer regions
to user space memory for read-only ioctl commands NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO
and NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO.

This can occur when the element size of the user space metadata given by
the v_size member of the argument nilfs_argv structure is larger than the
size of the metadata element (nilfs_suinfo structure or nilfs_cpinfo
structure) on the file system side.

KMSAN-enabled kernels detect this issue as follows:

Bytes 16-127 of 3968 are uninitialized

This eliminates the leak issue by initializing the page allocated as
buffer using get_zeroed_page().
