CVE-2022-2308

Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in vDPA with VDUSE backend. There were no checks in VDUSE kernel driver to ensure the size of the device config space was in line with the features advertised by the VDUSE userspace application. In case of a mismatch, Virtio drivers config read helpers did not initialize the memory indirectly passed to vduse_vdpa_get_config() returning uninitialized memory from the stack. Such memory was not directly propagated to userspace, although under some circumstances it could be printed in the kernel logs.
