[PATCH][next] media: v4l2-core: fix uninitialized structure fields being returned to userspace

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Jan 07 2020 - 09:02:13 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In the case where v4l2_event_dequeue fails the structure ev is not
being filled and this garbage data from the stack is being copied
to the ev32 structure and being copied back to userspace on the
VIDIOC_DQEVENT_TIME32 ioctl. Fix this by ensuring the ev structure
is zero'd to ensure uninitialized data is not leaked back.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 1a6c0b36dd19 ("media: v4l2-core: fix VIDIOC_DQEVENT for time64 ABI")
