In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc/vmwvmci: fix an infoleak in vmcihostdoreceivedatagram() struct vmci_event_qp allocated by qpnotifypeer() contains padding, which may carry uninitialized data to the userspace, as observed by KMSAN: BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in instrumentcopytouser ./include/linux/instrumented.h:121 instrumentcopytouser ./include/linux/instrumented.h:121 copytouser+0x5f/0xb0 lib/usercopy.c:33 copytouser ./include/linux/uaccess.h:169 vmcihostdoreceivedatagram drivers/misc/vmwvmci/vmcihost.c:431 vmcihostunlockedioctl+0x33d/0x43d0 drivers/misc/vmwvmci/vmcihost.c:925 vfsioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 ...

Also speculatively fix qpnotifypeer_local(), which may suffer from the same problem.
