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

From: Phillip Potter
Date: Wed Mar 31 2021 - 18:08:15 EST


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:
