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

dosysnametohandle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak

syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in dosysnametohandle() and issued the following report [1].

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to solve the problem.
