MEDIUMio_uring/waitid: clear waitid info before copying it to userspace
Title source: cnaDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/waitid: clear waitid info before copying it to userspace IORING_OP_WAITID stores its result fields in struct io_waitid::info and later copies them to userspace siginfo. The prep path initializes the request arguments, but it does not initialize info itself. If the wait operation completes without reporting a child event, the common wait code can return without writing wo_info. In that case io_waitid_finish() still copies iw->info to userspace, exposing stale bytes from the reused io_kiocb command storage. Clear the result storage during prep so the io_uring path matches the regular waitid syscall, which uses a zero-initialized struct waitid_info.
