From 31dcb6c30a26d32650ce134820f27de3c675a45a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anant Thazhemadam Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 04:15:34 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] misc: vmw_vmci: fix kernel info-leak by initializing dbells in vmci_ctx_get_chkpt_doorbells() A kernel-infoleak was reported by syzbot, which was caused because dbells was left uninitialized. Using kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() fixes this issue.
