Valgrind, error uninitialized value (s) "

In my C program, I allocate memory using malloc(), which, unlike calloc(), does not initialize memory and may contain garbage. Basically, in the context of allocation, I do not make any changes to the memory allocated malloc(). (For example, in the initialization function of a structure containing a buffer, I do not make changes to the buffer memory, but later).

Valgrind gives me a lot of errors:

• Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialized value (s)
• Using an uninitialized value of size 4

I am sure to never read from memory that was not initialized in these cases.

Should I ignore them or is it better to initialize the memory while allocating? In case I have to ignore them, how to disable this error message in Valgrind?

Example 1 :

==4253== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==4253==    at 0x408EB8E: vfprintf (vfprintf.c:1624)
==4253==    by 0x4093C2E: printf (printf.c:35)
==4253==    by 0x40624D2: (below main) (libc-start.c:226)
==4253==  Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation
==4253==    at 0x402BE68: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-x86-linux.so)
==4253==    by 0x8048938: gk_StreamBufferNode_init (stream.c:101)
==4253==    by 0x8048D0D: gk_Stream_bufferWriteProc (stream.c:252)
==4253==    by 0x8048665: main (main.c:21)

the code:

int gk_StreamBufferNode_init(gk_StreamBufferNode* node, int buffer_size,
                             gk_AllocProc malloc) {
    node->buffer = malloc(buffer_size);     // line 101
    if (node->buffer == NULL) {
        return GKIT_FAILEDALLOC;
    }
    node->next = NULL;
    return GKIT_NOERR;
}

Example 2 :
