Details

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

exfat: fix the new buffer was not zeroed before writing

Before writing, if a buffer_head marked as new, its data must be zeroed, otherwise uninitialized data in the page cache will be written.

So this commit uses foliozeronewbuffers() to zero the new buffers before ->writeend().
