nf_conncount: Fully initialize struct nf_conncount_tuple in insert_tree()", "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: nf_conncount: Fully initialize struct nf_conncount_tuple in insert_tree()\n\nSince commit b36e4523d4d5 (\"netfilter: nf_conncount: fix garbage\ncollection confirm race\"), `cpu` and `jiffies32` were introduced to\nthe struct nf_conncount_tuple.\n\nThe commit made nf_conncount_add() initialize `conn->cpu` and\n`conn->jiffies32` when allocating the struct.\nIn contrast, count_tree() was not changed to initialize them.\n\nBy commit 34848d5c896e (\"netfilter: nf_conncount: Split insert and\ntraversal\"), count_tree() was split and the relevant allocation\ncode now resides in insert_tree().\nInitialize `conn->cpu` and `conn->jiffies32` in insert_tree().\n\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in find_or_evict net/netfilter/nf_conncount.c:117 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in __nf_conncount_add+0xd9c/0x2850
