Description

An out-of-bounds overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. When Uprobe needs to fetch args into a per-CPU buffer and then copy to a ring buffer, sometimes user-space strings and arrays can be very large, but the size of the per-CPU buffer is only page size and checking is not performed, so an overflow can occur. This can result in a loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity
