[PATCH] zero-fill colormap in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c

From: Phillip Potter <phil@philpotter.co.uk>
Date: 2021-03-31 22:08:15
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer core, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Simona Vetter, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

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:
