Subject: [PATCH v1] SUNRPC: Properly set the @subbuf parameter of xdr_buf_subsegment()
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 11:32:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200625153234.4448.99187.stgit@klimt.1015granger.net> (raw)

@subbuf is an output parameter of xdr_buf_subsegment(). A survey of
call sites shows that @subbuf is always uninitialized before
xdr_buf_segment() is invoked by callers.

There are some execution paths through xdr_buf_subsegment() that do
not set all of the fields in @subbuf, leaving some pointer fields
containing garbage addresses. Subsequent processing of that buffer
then results in a page fault.
