Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-22 15:47:03 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ring-buffer: Initialise reader page order in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()

In rb_allocate_cpu_buffer(), bpage->order was omitted, leaving it as 0.
This is an issue for a ring-buffer with subbufs bigger than PAGE_SIZE if
when freed: free_buffer_page() relies on this value. Align the value
with the actual allocation size (buffer::subbuf_order).
