Linux kernel source tree
0e20450829
The adapter->chan_stats[] array is initialized in
mwifiex_init_channel_scan_gap() with vmalloc(), which doesn't zero out
memory. The array is filled in mwifiex_update_chan_statistics()
and then the user can query the data in mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey().
There are two potential issues here. What if the user calls
mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey() before the data has been filled in.
Also the mwifiex_update_chan_statistics() function doesn't necessarily
initialize the whole array. Since the array was not initialized at
the start that could result in an information leak.
Also this array is pretty small. It's a maximum of 900 bytes so it's
more appropriate to use kcalloc() instead vmalloc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
