  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmips: sched: Fix CPUMASK_OFFSTACK memory corruption\n\nThis patch addresses a critical memory management flaw. When\nCONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled, cpumask_var_t is a pointer.\nConsequently, sizeof(new_mask) evaluates to the pointer size, causing\ncopy_from_user() to clobber the mask pointer. Furthermore, the old\nlogic performed copy_from_user() before allocating the mask.\n\nFix this by allocating new_mask first. To handle variable-sized user\nmasks correctly, use cpumask_size() to truncate overly large user masks\nor pad undersized masks with zeros before copying the data directly into\nthe allocated buffer.",
