It seems like a false positive to me.
According to valgrind's documentation:
https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.value
" This can lead to false positive errors, as the shared memory can be
initialised via a first mapping, and accessed via another mapping. The
access via this other mapping will have its own V bits, which have not been
changed when the memory was initialised via the first mapping. The bypass
for these false positives is to use Memcheck's client requests
VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED and VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_UNDEFINED to inform
Memcheck about what your program does (or what another process does) to
these shared memory mappings. "
