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

tipc: fix an information leak in tipctopsrvkern_subscr

Use a 8-byte write to initialize sub.usrhandle in tipctopsrvkernsubscr(), otherwise four bytes remain uninitialized when issuing setsockopt(..., SOL_TIPC, ...). This resulted in an infoleak reported by KMSAN when the packet was received:
