Use kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() for the dynamically allocated parts of the colormap in fb_alloc_cmap_gfp, to prevent a leak of random kernel data to userspace under certain circumstances. Fixes a KMSAN-found infoleak bug reported by syzbot at: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=741578659feabd108ad9e06696f0c1f2e69c4b6e Reported-by: syzbot+47fa9c9c648b765305b9@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Signed-off-by: Phillip Potter <phil@philpotter.co.uk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210331220719.1499743-1-phil@philpotter.co.uk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
