    PKCS#7: pkcs7_validate_trust(): initialize the _trusted output argument · e5435891
    Nicolai Stange authored
    Despite what the DocBook comment to pkcs7_validate_trust() says, the
    *_trusted argument is never set to false.
    
    pkcs7_validate_trust() only positively sets *_trusted upon encountering
    a trusted PKCS#7 SignedInfo block.
    
    This is quite unfortunate since its callers, system_verify_data() for
    example, depend on pkcs7_validate_trust() clearing *_trusted on non-trust.
    
    Indeed, UBSAN splats when attempting to load the uninitialized local
    variable 'trusted' from system_verify_data() in pkcs7_validate_trust():
    
      UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in crypto/asymmetric_keys/pkcs7_trust.c:194:14
      load of value 82 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

        [...]
    
    The implication is that pkcs7_validate_trust() effectively grants trust
    when it really shouldn't have.
    
    Fix this by explicitly setting *_trusted to false at the very beginning
    of pkcs7_validate_trust().
