Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-11-12 23:03:55 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xtensa: simdisk: add input size check in proc_write_simdisk

A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value
to memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash.

This follows the same pattern as commit ee76746387f6
("netdevsim: prevent bad user input in nsim_dev_health_break_write()")
