Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VDUSE: avoid leaking information to userspace
The bounceing is not necessarily page aligned, so current VDUSE can
leak kernel information through mapping bounce pages to
userspace. Allocate bounce pages with __GFP_ZERO to avoid leaking
information to userspace.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-72305 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
