Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet_diag: fix kernel-infoleak for UDP sockets
KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak [1], that can exploited
by unpriv users.
After analysis it turned out UDP was not initializing
r->idiag_expires. Other users of inet_sk_diag_fill()
might make the same mistake in the future, so fix this
in inet_sk_diag_fill().
