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.
