Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 15:31 – Updated: 2025-09-25 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Add oversize check before call kvcalloc()
Commit 7661809d493b ("mm: don't allow oversized kvmalloc() calls") add the oversize check. When the allocation is larger than what kmalloc() supports, the following warning triggered:
