7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37
Description
The issue is related to the Linux kernel, where the function
bits per() rounds up to the next power of two when passed a power of two, causing crashes on some machines and configurations. This is due to the incorrect number of bits being used for power-of-two CONFIG NR CPUS. The problem affects the Linux kernel and can lead to system crashes.Recommendations
Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
bits per() function or restricting its use until a patch is available. However, since the fixed version is specified, updating to version 6.6.37 or later is the recommended course of action.Exploit
