## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs: Fix uninitialized value issue in from_kuid and from_kgid

ocfs2_setattr() uses attr->ia_mode, attr->ia_uid and attr->ia_gid in
a trace point even though ATTR_MODE, ATTR_UID and ATTR_GID aren't set.

Initialize all fields of newattrs to avoid uninitialized variables, by
checking if ATTR_MODE, ATTR_UID, ATTR_GID are initialized, otherwise 0.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel < 4.19.324`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.286`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.230`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.173`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.118`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.62`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.11.9`
- `linux_kernel = 6.12`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.11.9`
