In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ring-buffer: Fix the sub-buffer array base in rb_meta_subbuf_idx()

On a persistent ring buffer, rb_meta_subbuf_idx() can return an index one
sub-buffer too high.  rb_setup_ids_meta_page() then fills subbuf_ids[]
shifted by one and leaves subbuf_ids[0] NULL, which __rb_map_vma()
dereferences when userspace maps trace_pipe_raw.  rb_update_meta_reader()
writes two such indices into meta->buffers[], which rb_cpu_meta_valid()
would reject on the next boot, discarding the previous boot's trace.

A CPU's sub-buffer array starts after its meta header and the nr_subbufs
integers that follow, aligned up to a sub-buffer.  rb_meta_subbuf_idx()
inverts that calculation but skips only the integers, not the header, so
its base is one sub-buffer low whenever the omitted header size crosses
the alignment boundary.

Invert the calculation with rb_subbufs_from_meta() rather than repeating
it.  rb_range_buffer() maps an index back to an address through the same
helper, so the two directions can no longer disagree.
