Silva" Sent: Wednesday, 10 October, 2018 6:17:48 AM Subject: [PATCH v2] smb2: fix uninitialized variable bug in smb2_ioctl_query_info There is a potential execution path in which variable *resp_buftype* is passed as an argument to function free_rsp_buf(), in which it is used in a comparison without being properly initialized previously. Fix this by initializing variable *resp_buftype* to -1 in order to avoid unpredictable or unintended results.
