Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ethtool: cmis_cdb: use correct rpl size in ethtool_cmis_module_poll() rpl is passed as a pointer to ethtool_cmis_module_poll(), so the correct size of rpl is sizeof(*rpl) which should be just 1 byte. Using the pointer size instead can cause stack corruption: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ethtool_cmis_wait_for_cond+0xf4/0x100 CPU: 72 UID: 0 PID: 4440 Comm: kworker/72:2 Kdump: load…
