      <title>CVE-2022-49235 — ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2022-49235</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ath9k_htc: fix uninit value bugs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Syzbot reported 2 KMSAN bugs in ath9k. All of them are caused by missing
field initialization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In htc_connect_service() svc_meta_len and pad are not initialized. Based
on code it looks like in current skb there is no service data, so simply
initialize svc_meta_len to 0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;htc_issue_send() does not initialize htc_frame_hdr::control array. Based
on firmware code, it will initialize it by itself, so simply zero whole
array to make KMSAN happy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fail logs:&lt;/p&gt;
