Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-26988
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a potential static command line memory overflow in the Linux kernel. This occurs when the length of `command line` is greater than the length of `boot command line`, causing `static command line` to overflow. The problem arises from the incorrect allocation of memory for `static command line`, where the size is calculated based on `boot command line` instead of `command line`. This patch recovers the correct length of `command line` which was previously miss-consolidated with `boot command line`.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
