Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: use kzalloc for quota recovery bitmap allocation
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 13:10:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260418131048.1052507-1-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
ocfs2 quota recovery allocates a bitmap buffer with kmalloc and does
not fully initialize it. This can lead to use of uninitialized bits
during quota recovery from a corrupted filesystem image.
Use kzalloc instead to ensure the bitmap is zero-initialized.
