Subject: [PATCH] fs: Fix uninitialized 'offp' in statmount_string()
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 17:13:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251011091353.353898-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In statmount_string(), most flags assign an output offset pointer (offp)
which is later updated with the string offset. However, the
STATMOUNT_MNT_UIDMAP and STATMOUNT_MNT_GIDMAP cases directly set the
struct fields instead of using offp. This leaves offp uninitialized,
leading to a possible uninitialized dereference when *offp is updated.
Fix it by assigning offp for UIDMAP and GIDMAP as well, keeping the code
path consistent.
Fixes: 37c4a9590e1e ("statmount: allow to retrieve idmappings")
