In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: vmalloc: check if a hash-index is in cpu_possible_mask
The problem is that there are systems where cpu_possible_mask has gaps
between set CPUs, for example SPARC. In this scenario addr_to_vb_xa()
hash function can return an index which accesses to not-possible and not
setup CPU area using per_cpu() macro. This results in an oops on SPARC.
A per-cpu vmap_block_queue is also used as hash table, incorrectly
assuming the cpu_possible_mask has no gaps. Fix it by adjusting an index
to a next possible CPU.
