Summary

In the Linux kernel, the function rpc_sysfs_xprt_switch_add_xprt_store() allocates the xprt_create_args structure on the stack without initialization, which can lead to kernel panic, information leak, or unpredictable behavior due to uninitialized fields.

Risk Assessment

Uninitialized data can lead to system crash, leakage of sensitive data, or unpredictable behavior of network services.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that zero-initializes the xprt_create_args structure before use.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunrpc: fix uninitialized xprt_create_args structure The xprt_create_args structure is allocated on the stack without initialization in rpc_sysfs_xprt_switch_add_xprt_store(). While some fields are manually populated, critical fields like srcaddr, bc_xps, and flags contain uninitialized stack garbage. This can lead to: 1. Kernel panic when xs_setup_xprt() dereferences garbage srcaddr 2. Information leak if srcaddr points to sensitive stack data 3. Unpredictable behavior if flags has random bits set The fix is to zero-initialize the structure to ensure all unused fields are NULL/0, preventing the transport setup code from acting on garbage data.
