Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c 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: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f413512c79c2d0012c6ed486e4025e1489e6d443 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61d46d6f5dc163aa5f3548633b5f392b021620ff https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81985921e14f5b471fc0ffe990826d0bda52c0cf https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c53fdf7ee65af1b9b4566cc437d3754ce7b47118 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c606c28085a3106c91c6d37bbbbf97b451d572ce https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12fe6a56506ed3bf0aaf6130a29102ce1fce62da https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa387a3e51808f580b51593e3c2f3d4703d91c1a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/033e56fed09047ee63072e9f58789f40c1c7079d
