Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix KMSAN uninit-value in extentinfo usage KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized value in isextentmergeable() and isbackmergeable() via the read extent tree path. The root cause is that getreadextentinfo() only initializes three fields (fofs, blk, len) of struct extentinfo, leaving the remaining fields uninitialized. This leads to undefined behavior when those fields are accessed later, especially during extent merging. Fix it by zero-initializing the extentinfo struct before population.
