Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description An issue exists in the kho component where scratch sizes specified via the command line are not rounded up to CMA MIN ALIGNMENT BYTES. While this rounding occurs when using scratch scale, the lack of alignment for fixed scratch sizes can lead to the kernel releasing a pageblock that is only partially scratch. This is addressed by implementing rounding in the scratch size update() function.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
