A fix is available — apply it.

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

HID: core: zero-initialize the report buffer

Since the report buffer is used by all kinds of drivers in various ways, let's zero-initialize it during allocation to make sure that it can't be ever used to leak kernel memory via specially-crafted report.
