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

cxl/fwctl: Fix __fortify_panic

Fix a runtime assertion in cxlctl_get_supported_features(). Fortify complains that it is potentially overflowing the entries array per __counted_by_le(num_entries). Quiet the false positive by initializing @num_entries earlier.
