Subject: [PATCH 4.14 16/29] misc: vmw_vmci: fix kernel info-leak by initializing dbells in vmci_ctx_get_chkpt_doorbells()
Date: Thu,  7 Jan 2021 15:31:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210107143055.223687558@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210107143052.973437064@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Anant Thazhemadam <anant.thazhemadam@gmail.com>

commit 31dcb6c30a26d32650ce134820f27de3c675a45a upstream.

A kernel-infoleak was reported by syzbot, which was caused because
dbells was left uninitialized.
Using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() fixes this issue.
