Title
FatFs Use of Uninitialized Clusters After Seek Past EOF
Summary
FatFs R0.16 and earlier contains an uninitialized cluster exposure when f_lseek() extends files beyond EOF without zero-filling newly allocated clusters. This maps to CWE-908 (Use of Uninitialized Resource). Estimated CVSS v3.1 vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (4.6, Medium). The estimated CISA SSVC vectors are Exploitation: PoC, Technical Impact: Partial.
