Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: fix read of uninitialized data
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 14:41:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180410134123.13832-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently function __load_ucode_amd can assign an uninitialized cp to *ret
if get_builtin_microcode returns false. This could cause function
load_ucode_amd_bsp to attempt to apply the microcode if the garbage data in
cp is non-zero.  Fix this by moving the zero'ing of cp from function
load_ucode_amd_bsp to __load_ucode_amd.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1398332 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")

Fixes: 69f5f983001f ("x86/microcode/AMD: Remove AP scanning optimization")
