Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-01-21 13:02:09 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

exfat: fix the new buffer was not zeroed before writing

Before writing, if a buffer_head marked as new, its data must
be zeroed, otherwise uninitialized data in the page cache will
be written.

So this commit uses folio_zero_new_buffers() to zero the new
buffers before ->write_end().
