CVE-2024-50076 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vt: prevent kernel-infoleak in con_font_get()

font.data may not initialize all memory spaces depending on the implementation of vc->vc_sw->con_font_get. This may cause info-leak so to prevent this it is safest to modify it to initialize the allocated memory space to 0 and it generally does not affect the overall performance of the system.
