Details

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

net/iucv: Avoid explicit cpumask var allocation on stack

For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack overflow.

Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

Use *cpumask_var API(s) to address it.

Severity ?
7.8 (High)
