CVE-2024-35849 Affecting kernel-rt-trace-devel package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-trace-devel package and not the kernel-rt-trace-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix information leak in btrfs_ioctl_logical_to_ino()

Syzbot reported the following information leak for in btrfs_ioctl_logical_to_ino():

Bytes 40-65535 of 65536 are uninitialized Memory access of size 65536 starts at ffff888045a40000

This happens, because we're copying a 'struct btrfs_data_container' back to user-space. This btrfs_data_container is allocated in 'init_data_container()' via kvmalloc(), which does not zero-fill the memory.

Fix this by using kvzalloc() which zeroes out the memory on allocation.
