Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc/vmw_vmci: fix an infoleak in vmci_host_do_receive_datagram()
struct vmci_event_qp allocated by qp_notify_peer() contains padding,
which may carry uninitialized data to the userspace, as observed by
KMSAN:

Bytes 28-31 of 48 are uninitialized Memory access of size 48 starts at ffff888035155e00 Data copied to user address 0000000020000100
Use memset() to prevent the infoleaks.
Also speculatively fix qp_notify_peer_local(), which may suffer from the same problem.
