Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-05 18:04:25 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix oops due to uninitialised variable

Fix smb3_init_transform_rq() to initialise buffer to NULL before calling
netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() as netfs assumes it can append to the buffer it
is given.  Setting it to NULL means it should start a fresh buffer, but the
value is currently undefined.
