**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.37 **Description** The issue is related to the Linux kernel, where the function `bits per()` rounds up to the next power of two when passed a power of two, causing crashes on some machines and configurations. This is due to the incorrect number of bits being used for power-of-two `CONFIG NR CPUS`. The problem affects the Linux kernel and can lead to system crashes. **Recommendations** Update to Linux kernel version 6.6.37 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `bits per()` function or restricting its use until a patch is available. However, since the fixed version is specified, updating to version 6.6.37 or later is the recommended course of action.
