Subject[PATCH 4.14 091/114] ALSA: rawmidi: Initialize allocated buffers
Date
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 5a7b44a8df822e0667fc76ed7130252523993bda upstream.

syzbot reported the uninitialized value exposure in certain situations
using virmidi loop. It's likely a very small race at writing and
reading, and the influence is almost negligible. But it's safer to
paper over this just by replacing the existing kvmalloc() with
kvzalloc().
