dmildram> Surprised this seems a relatively NEW BUG as opposed to an OLD BUG/vulnerability NEWly discovered. Reading just a bit of the link Tim sent, where it says under Affected kernels, it seems feasable that all versions from atleast (including) v5.14.21 to (including) v6.6.14 are exploitable, depending on the kconfig values (details below). This means that at the time of writing, the stable branches linux-5.15.y, linux-6.1.y, and linux-6.6.y are affected by this exploit, and perhaps linux-6.7.1 doug/dmildram> I feel safe on this! unless I'm mistaken with my aging 5.4.0 kernel on linux mint 20.
