In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: Initialize extack in remove_nh_grp_entry()
remove_nh_grp_entry() prints the extack message when a listener fails
to replace the reduced nexthop group. However, extack is not
initialized and listeners are not required to set a message when
returning an error. Neither netdevsim nor mlxsw do so when an
allocation fails, resulting in the dereference of an uninitialized
stack pointer.
Fix by zero-initializing extack, as was done in commit 6347c5314cee
(“nexthop: initialize extack in nh_res_bucket_migrate()”).
