Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: Fix uninitialized 'offp' in statmount_string()
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 19:41:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013114151.664341-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251011091353.353898-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>

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")
Fixes: e52e97f09fb6 ("statmount: let unset strings be empty")
