Description
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the

For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.3, consider updating to a version that contains a fix for this issue as a permanent solution. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
mp override legacy irq() function to minimize the risk of exploitation.Correção
