GHSA-P942-F2JQ-6857
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-16 00:00 – Updated: 2022-09-20 00:00This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Ansys SpaceClaim 2022 R1. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of X_B files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of a pointer prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-17565.

exfat: fix the new buffer was not zeroed before writing
Before writing, if a buffer_head marked as new, its data must be zeroed, otherwise uninitialized data in the page cache will be written.
So this commit uses folio_zero_new_buffers() to zero the new buffers before ->write_end().
