=====================================================
The HFS_SB(sb)->bitmap buffer is allocated in hfs_mdb_get():
HFS_SB(sb)->bitmap = kmalloc(8192, GFP_KERNEL);
Finally, it can trigger the reported issue because kmalloc()
doesn't clear the allocated memory. If allocated memory contains
only zeros, then everything will work pretty fine.
But if the allocated memory contains the garbage, then
it can affect the bitmap operations and it triggers
the reported issue.
This patch simply exchanges the kmalloc() on kzalloc()
with the goal to guarantee the correctness of bitmap operations.
Because, newly created allocation bitmap should have all
available blocks free. Potentially, initialization bitmap's read
operation could not fill the whole allocated memory and
garbage in the not initialized memory will be the reason of
volume coruptions and file system driver bugs.
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.");
