Backport Fix for CVE-2024-26800 to V5.15

Backport Fix for CVE-2024-26800 to V5.15

[Michael Kochera]

Hello, I wanted to check on the backport of the fix for CVE-2024-26800
on the 5.15 kernel.

Here is the commit fixing the issue:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=13114dc5543069f7b97991e3b79937b6da05f5b0
and as you can see the commit it says it fixes was backported to 5.15
to fix a different CVE but this one wasn't as far as I can tell.

Thank You,
Michael Kochera

As that commit does not apply cleanly to the 5.15.y tree, it was not
automatically applied.  If you wish to see it there, please provide a
working and tested backport and we will be glad to include it.
