The branch main has been updated by markj: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=d91be0f1211b0196a0087cdfa237a6a0d2a43b65 commit d91be0f1211b0196a0087cdfa237a6a0d2a43b65 Author: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-01-17 14:36:54 +0000 Commit: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-01-17 14:36:54 +0000 netlink: Zero-initialize mbuf messages Some users of nlmsg_reserve_object() and nlmsg_reserve_data() are not careful to fully initialize pad and reserved fields, allowing uninitialized bytes to leak to userspace. For example, dump_nhgrp() doesn't set nhm->resvd = 0. Meanwhile, nlmsg_get_ns_buf() and nlmsg_get_ns_lbuf() zero-initialize the buffer, so nlmsg_get_ns_mbuf() is inconsistent. Let's just make them all behave the same here.
