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

virtio/vsock: Fix uninit-value in virtio_transport_recv_pkt()

KMSAN reported the following uninit-value access issue:

The following simple reproducer can cause the issue described above:

int main(void)
{
int sock;
struct sockaddr_vm addr = {
.svm_family = AF_VSOCK,
.svm_cid = VMADDR_CID_ANY,
.svm_port = 1234,
};

sock = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
return 0;
}

This issue occurs because the buf_alloc and fwd_cnt fields of the
struct virtio_vsock_hdr are not initialized when a new skb is allocated
in virtio_transport_init_hdr(). This patch resolves the issue by
initializing these fields during allocation.
