Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: addrlabel: fix infoleak when sending struct ifaddrlblmsg to network When copying a `struct ifaddrlblmsg` to the network, __ifal_reserved remained uninitialized, resulting in a 1-byte infoleak: BUG: KMSAN: kernel-network-infoleak in __netdev_start_xmit ./include/linux/netdevice.h:4841 __netdev_start_xmit ./include/linux/netdevice.h:4841 netdev_start_xmit ./include/linux/netdevice.h:4857 xmit_one net/core/dev.c:3590 dev_hard_start_xmit+0x1dc/0x800 net/core/dev.c:3606 __dev_queue_xmit+0x17e8/0x4350 net/core/dev.c:4256 dev_queue_xmit ./include/linux/netdevice.h:3009 __netlink_deliver_tap_skb net/netlink/af_netlink.c:307 __netlink_deliver_tap+0x728/0xad0 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:325 netlink_deliver_tap net/netlink/af_netlink.c:338 __netlink_sendskb net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1263 netlink_sendskb+0x1d9/0x200 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1272 netlink_unicast+0x56d/0xf50 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1360 nlmsg_unicast ./include/net/netlink.h:1061 rtnl_unicast+0x5a/0x80 net/core/rtnetlink.c:758 ip6addrlbl_get+0xfad/0x10f0 net/ipv6/addrlabel.c:628 rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0xb33/0x1570 net/core/rtnetlink.c:6082 ...
