[PATCH] drivers: virt: acrn: hsm: Use kzalloc to avoid info leak in pmcmd_ioctl
From: Haoyu Li
Date: Thu Jan 30 2025 - 06:58:51 EST
In the "pmcmd_ioctl" function, three memory objects allocated by
kmalloc are initialized by "hcall_get_cpu_state", which are then
copied to user space. The initializer is indeed implemented in
"acrn_hypercall2" (arch/x86/include/asm/acrn.h). There is a risk of
information leakage due to uninitialized bytes.
Fixes: 3d679d5aec64 ("virt: acrn: Introduce interfaces to query C-states and P-states allowed by hypervisor")
