CVE-2025-21996

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

drm/radeon: fix uninitialized size issue in radeon_vce_cs_parse()

On the off chance that command stream passed from userspace via ioctl() call to radeon_vce_cs_parse() is weirdly crafted and first command to execute is to encode (case 0x03000001), the function in question will attempt to call radeon_vce_cs_reloc() with size argument that has not been properly initialized. Specifically, size will point to tmp variable before the latter had a chance to be assigned any value.

Play it safe and init tmp with 0, thus ensuring that radeon_vce_cs_reloc() will catch an early error in cases like these.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with static analysis tool SVACE.

(cherry picked from commit 2d52de55f9ee7aaee0e09ac443f77855989c6b68)
