Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AppArmor security module. This vulnerability occurs when AppArmor attempts to create tables from user-provided data that may be unaligned in memory. A local attacker could exploit this by providing specially crafted input, leading to unaligned memory accesses. This could result in system instability or unexpected behavior.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-27 15:09:58 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: Fix & Optimize table creation from possibly unaligned memory

Source blob may come from userspace and might be unaligned.
Try to optize the copying process by avoiding unaligned memory accesses.

- Added Fixes tag
- Added "Fix &" to description as this doesn't just optimize but fixes
        a potential unaligned memory access
