Subject: CVE-2024-46844: um: line: always fill *error_out in setup_one_line()

Description
===========

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

um: line: always fill *error_out in setup_one_line()

The pointer isn't initialized by callers, but I have
encountered cases where it's still printed; initialize
it in all possible cases in setup_one_line().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-46844 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
