Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The issue arises from an incorrect configuration option for Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), a security mechanism designed to prevent certain types of attacks. Due to a naming change, the CFI code was not properly compiled, leading to its intended protections not being active. This could allow attackers to bypass security safeguards that CFI is meant to provide.
Mitigation
No mitigation is specified in collected source.
