Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/i2c/i2c-core-acpi.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/b8090a84d7758b929d348bafbd86bb7a10c5fb63 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d9d458a8aaafa47268ea4f1b4114a9f12927989 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60bacf259e8c2eb2324f3e13275200baaee9494b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f86de018fd7a24ee07372d55ffa7824f0c674a95 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90f1077c9184ec2ae9989e4642f211263f301694 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6558b646ce1c2a872fe1c2c7cb116f05a2c1950f
