Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix crash when mount with quota enabled
There is a reported crash when mounting ocfs2 with quota enabled.
RIP: 0010:ocfs2_qinfo_lock_res_init+0x44/0x50 [ocfs2] Call Trace: ocfs2_local_read_info+0xb9/0x6f0 [ocfs2] dquot_load_quota_sb+0x216/0x470 dquot_load_quota_inode+0x85/0x100 ocfs2_enable_quotas+0xa0/0x1c0 [ocfs2] ocfs2_fill_super.cold+0xc8/0x1bf [ocfs2] mount_bdev+0x185/0x1b0 legacy_get_tree+0x27/0x40 vfs_get_tree+0x25/0xb0 path_mount+0x465/0xac0 __x64_sys_mount+0x103/0x140
It is caused by when initializing dqi_gqlock, the corresponding dqi_type and dqi_sb are not properly initialized.
This issue is introduced by commit 6c85c2c72819, which wants to avoid accessing uninitialized variables in error cases. So make global quota info properly initialized.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-04 09:30 – Updated: 2026-07-14 15:31
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg
If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain a garbage value from the previous loop. This may then trigger a crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do a merge that can't be done.
Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.

Exposure of uninitialized memory in memoffset

Affected versions of this crate caused traps and/or memory unsafety by zero-initializing references. They also could lead to uninitialized memory being dropped if the field for which the offset is requested was behind a deref coercion, and that deref coercion caused a panic.

GHSA-RJJG-HGV6-H69V
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-09-25 18:28 – Updated: 2024-10-28 20:17
VLAI
Summary
Memory corruption in Tensorflow
Details
Impact
The implementation of dlpack.to_dlpack can be made to use uninitialized memory resulting in further memory corruption. This is because the pybind11 glue code assumes that the argument is a tensor:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/tfe_wrapper.cc#L1361
However, there is nothing stopping users from passing in a Python object instead of a tensor.
In [2]: tf.experimental.dlpack.to_dlpack([2])
==1720623==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
#0 0x55b0ba5c410a in tensorflow::(anonymous namespace)::GetTensorFromHandle(TFE_TensorHandle*, TF_Status*) third_party/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc:46:7
#1 0x55b0ba5c38f4 in tensorflow::TFE_HandleToDLPack(TFE_TensorHandle*, TF_Status*) third_party/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc:252:26
...
The uninitialized memory address is due to a reinterpret_cast
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/eager/pywrap_tensor.cc#L848-L850
Since the PyObject is a Python object, not a TensorFlow Tensor, the cast to EagerTensor fails.
Patches
We have patched the issue in 22e07fb204386768e5bcbea563641ea11f96ceb8 and will release a patch release for all affected versions.
We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 2.2.1 or 2.3.1.

Mitigation
Implementation
Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all required steps.
Mitigation
Implementation
Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.
Mitigation
Implementation
Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.
Mitigation
Build and Compilation
Run or compile the product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
