      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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
