Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/acpi/scan.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6901a4f795e0e8d65ae779cb37fc22e0bf294712 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ab9857dde7c3ea3faef6b128d718cf8ba98721b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/69cc821e89ce572884548ac54c4f80eec7a837a5 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dafd4c0b5e835db020cff11c74b4af9493a58e72 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e2381174daeae0ca35eddffef02dcc8de8c1ef8a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c5c8f6ffc942cf42f990f22e35bcf4cbe9d8c2fb https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a7e17a8d421ae23c920240625b4413c7b94d94a4 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0c8bd174f0fc131bc9dfab35cd8784f59045da87
