In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extent_info usage
KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized value in __is_extent_mergeable()
and __is_back_mergeable()
via the read extent tree path.
The root cause is that get_read_extent_info()
only initializes three
fields (fofs
, blk
, len
) of struct extent_info
, leaving the
remaining fields uninitialized. This leads to undefined behavior
when those fields are accessed later, especially during
extent merging.
Fix it by zero-initializing the extent_info
struct before population.
